The typical starting dose of Viagra is 50 mg, taken orally as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dosage can be adjusted based on individual response and tolerance.
A lower dose of 25 mg may be sufficient for some men, while others may require a higher dose of 100 mg. Your doctor will help determine the appropriate dosage for you. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose.
Take Viagra only as directed by your physician. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period. The medication is best absorbed on an empty stomach or with a light meal.
Certain foods and drinks, particularly grapefruit juice, may affect Viagra’s absorption and should be avoided. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for a complete list of potential interactions.
If you experience side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, and nasal congestion. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur. Always discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
