Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Dosage varies depending on individual needs and response.
Viagra (sildenafil): Typical starting dose is 50mg, taken as needed, about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this to 25mg or 100mg, depending on your response and potential side effects. Don’t exceed the maximum recommended dose.
Cialis (tadalafil): This comes in various dosages, including 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. The 2.5mg and 5mg are typically taken daily for continuous erectile dysfunction treatment. Higher doses (10mg and 20mg) are taken as needed, usually 30 minutes before sexual activity. Your doctor will determine the best approach for you.
Levitra (vardenafil): Common starting dose is 10mg, taken as needed about 60 minutes prior to sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this to 5mg or 20mg based on your individual response and tolerance.
Important Note: These medications shouldn’t be taken more than once a day. They interact with other medications, so be sure to inform your doctor about all your current medications and health conditions. Discuss potential side effects and contraindications with your physician before starting treatment. Never take more than prescribed.
Frequency of Use: Daily use is common for Cialis (lower doses), whereas Viagra and Levitra are typically taken as needed.
Timing: Take these medications as directed by your doctor; timing varies slightly between medications. Food can affect the absorption of some of these drugs; your doctor will advise on this.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose of daily medication, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to catch up. For as-needed medications, simply take the next dose as prescribed when needed.
