Pfizer’s Viagra 100mg tablets contain sildenafil citrate, treating erectile dysfunction. This guide provides key information.
Understanding Viagra 100mg
Viagra 100mg offers a higher dose of sildenafil than lower strengths. This may be more suitable for individuals who haven’t experienced sufficient efficacy with lower doses or have more severe erectile dysfunction. Always follow your doctor’s prescription.
Remember, Viagra only works with sexual stimulation. It doesn’t create arousal.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended starting dose is typically lower than 100mg. Your physician will determine the appropriate dosage based on your health status and other medications. Take Viagra one hour before sexual activity. It’s important to avoid excessive alcohol consumption prior to taking the medication. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. More serious side effects are rare but include chest pain and sudden vision loss. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur. This list isn’t exhaustive; consult the medication leaflet for a complete list.
Drug Interactions
Certain medications interact with Viagra. Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. This helps prevent dangerous interactions.
Price Considerations
Viagra prices vary depending on location, pharmacy, and insurance coverage. Generic sildenafil is often cheaper, offering a cost-effective alternative, but should only be considered under physician supervision.
| Pharmacy | Prices vary widely between pharmacies. |
| Insurance | Insurance coverage significantly affects out-of-pocket cost. |
| Generic vs. Brand | Generic sildenafil is typically less expensive than Viagra brand. |
| Quantity | Purchasing larger quantities may offer some cost savings. |
Seeking Medical Advice
Consult your doctor before using Viagra, particularly if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or other health conditions. Your doctor can assess your suitability for Viagra and recommend the appropriate dosage.
