Staxyn and Viagra differ significantly in how you take them. Viagra is a tablet you swallow with water, typically 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Dosage ranges from 25mg to 100mg, as determined by your doctor.
Staxyn, on the other hand, is an orodispersible tablet. This means it dissolves quickly on your tongue without water. This offers convenience, but it also means you should avoid swallowing the tablet whole. The recommended starting dose is 10mg, taken as needed, approximately 60 minutes prior to sexual activity; your physician may adjust this to 5mg or 20mg based on individual needs and response.
- Viagra: Swallowed with water, 25-100mg, 30-60 minutes before activity. Staxyn: Dissolves on tongue, 5-20mg, approximately 60 minutes before activity.
Both medications are taken only as needed, not daily. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and frequency. Never exceed the prescribed dose. Your doctor will help determine the appropriate dosage for your specific circumstances and medical history.
Remember to discuss any potential side effects or drug interactions with your physician before starting either medication.
