Always consult your doctor before using Viagra, especially if you have heart conditions, high or low blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems.
Take Viagra exactly as prescribed. The usual dose is 50mg, but your doctor may adjust it based on your needs and response.
- Do: Take Viagra about one hour before sexual activity. Don’t: Take more than one dose in 24 hours.
Viagra works best on an empty stomach. A light meal might be acceptable, but avoid heavy, fatty foods.
- Do: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can impact medication absorption. Don’t: Mix Viagra with alcohol. Excessive alcohol can increase side effects and reduce effectiveness.
Be aware of potential side effects such as headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Most side effects are mild and temporary.
Do: Contact your doctor immediately if you experience prolonged or painful erection (priapism) – a medical emergency. Do: Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as interactions are possible. Don’t: Use Viagra if you have a history of vision loss related to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Don’t: Use recreational drugs alongside Viagra.
Store Viagra in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Remember, Viagra enhances sexual response but doesn’t guarantee sexual success. Open communication with your partner is key to a fulfilling sexual experience.
