Start with the lowest dose (25mg) unless your doctor prescribes otherwise. This minimizes potential side effects.
Viagra comes in three common dosages: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. Your doctor will determine the best starting point based on your health and medical history.
- 25mg: Often a good starting point for those new to Viagra or with certain health conditions. 50mg: A common dosage for many men, providing a good balance of effectiveness and tolerability. 100mg: Typically prescribed only if lower doses prove insufficient, as it carries a higher risk of side effects.
Dosage adjustments are made based on your response. If the 25mg dose isn’t effective enough, your doctor may increase it. Conversely, if you experience significant side effects, the dosage may be reduced.
Viagra is typically taken as needed, about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Avoid taking more than one dose per day.
Take it as directed. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Consider timing. Take it approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. Don’t exceed the recommended dose. This increases the risk of side effects.
Other options for erectile dysfunction exist, including Cialis and Levitra. Discuss alternatives with your doctor if Viagra isn’t suitable or effective for you.
Always consult your physician before starting any medication, including Viagra, to discuss potential risks and benefits specific to your health profile.
