The recommended starting dose of Sildenafil is 50mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. However, your doctor may prescribe 100mg if 50mg proves insufficient.
Taking Sildenafil 100mg
- Take the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. The medication works best on an empty stomach or with a light meal. Avoid fatty, heavy meals before taking Sildenafil as this can delay absorption.
You should only take one 100mg tablet in a 24-hour period.
Important Considerations
Sildenafil’s effects can last up to four hours. Avoid alcohol consumption before taking Sildenafil, as this can interact negatively. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as interactions are possible. Certain health conditions may prohibit the use of Sildenafil. Discuss your medical history thoroughly with your physician. If you experience side effects such as chest pain, sudden vision loss, or prolonged erection (priapism), seek immediate medical attention.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. This information is for guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice.
