Safe Use of Viagra: Dosage and Precautions

Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Viagra dosage. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and health conditions.

Never exceed the maximum recommended dose of 100mg in a 24-hour period. Taking more Viagra than prescribed won’t enhance the effect but increases the risk of side effects.

Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. Avoid it if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or certain eye conditions. Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including nitrates, as their combination can be dangerous.

Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, prolonged erection (priapism), or sudden vision loss.

Alcohol consumption can intensify Viagra’s side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake when using Viagra.

Consult your physician before using Viagra if you have kidney or liver disease, or if you’re taking other medications that might interact with it.

Store Viagra in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Viagra is only for men. It’s not intended for women or children.
