Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The typical starting dose is 10 mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
Maximum daily dose: Do not exceed 20 mg in a 24-hour period. Higher doses don’t necessarily improve results and may increase side effects.
Dosage adjustments: Your doctor might adjust your dosage based on your response and any side effects you experience. Some men may find 5 mg daily more effective for consistent treatment.
How to take it: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but consistency is key. Taking it with a heavy meal might slightly delay the onset of action.
Frequency: The 10 mg dose is usually taken as needed, not every day. The 5 mg daily dose is taken once a day, at approximately the same time each day.
Missed dose: If you miss a dose of the daily medication, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Don’t take a double dose.
