The recommended starting dose of Viagra is 50 mg taken orally as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dose may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg based on individual response and tolerability. Never exceed 100 mg in a 24-hour period.
Take Viagra only when you plan to engage in sexual activity. Do not take it more than once a day. The effects typically last for four to five hours. However, this duration can vary depending on individual factors and metabolism.
Viagra should be taken with a glass of water. Food may slightly delay the onset of action, but it won’t significantly affect its effectiveness. Avoid grapefruit juice as it can interact with Viagra and increase its blood levels.
Important Note: Consult your doctor before starting Viagra, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or other health conditions. They will assess your suitability for the medication and determine the appropriate dosage.
Do not take Viagra if you are using nitrates or other medications that can interact negatively. Your physician will discuss potential drug interactions and provide suitable guidance.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions and adhere to the prescribed dosage. If you experience side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Common side effects may include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances.
