The recommended starting dose of Sildenafil is 50mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. However, your doctor may prescribe 20mg, especially if you have certain health conditions or are taking other medications. Always follow your physician’s instructions precisely.
Adjusting Your Dosage
The 20mg dose might be sufficient for some individuals, while others may require a higher dose. Your doctor will monitor your response and adjust the dosage as needed. Do not increase your dose without consulting your doctor first. Increased doses do not necessarily improve effectiveness and can increase the risk of side effects.
Taking Sildenafil
Take Sildenafil orally with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but some studies suggest that taking it on an empty stomach may slightly increase absorption. Avoid grapefruit juice as it can interact with Sildenafil.
Frequency of Use
Sildenafil is intended for use as needed, not for daily use. Your doctor will advise on the appropriate frequency, considering your individual needs and health status. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage or frequency.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Storage
Store Sildenafil at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets.
