Start with the lowest recommended dose of 25mg. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual needs. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg. Never exceed this without medical supervision. Taking more won’t necessarily make it work better and could increase side effects.
Common Side Effects
Many experience mild side effects, including headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually temporary and mild. If they persist or worsen, contact your doctor. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Less Common Side Effects
Less frequent side effects can include dizziness, back pain, muscle aches, and nausea. These usually subside on their own. However, report any concerning symptoms to your healthcare provider. Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to minimize potential drug interactions.
