Always follow your doctor’s instructions for Viagra dosage. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual needs. Doses range from 25mg to 100mg, but exceeding 100mg isn’t recommended.
Understanding potential side effects is key. While most men tolerate Viagra well, some experience minor side effects. These commonly include:
- Headache Facial flushing Nasal congestion Indigestion Visual disturbances (blurred vision, sensitivity to light)
These usually are mild and temporary. However, serious side effects, though rare, require immediate medical attention. These include:
- Prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than four hours Sudden vision loss Sudden hearing loss Chest pain Severe allergic reactions
Certain health conditions may interact with Viagra. Men with heart problems, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease should discuss their health history thoroughly with their doctor before using Viagra. Also, avoid combining Viagra with nitrates.
Before taking Viagra, inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including herbal supplements. This helps prevent potential drug interactions.
If you experience any concerning side effects, stop taking Viagra and contact your doctor immediately. They can provide further guidance and manage any potential complications.
