Start with the recommended dose of 50mg, taken about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and overall health.
Higher doses (up to 100mg) might be prescribed, but only if the 50mg dose proves ineffective. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose without consulting your physician.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Certain medications can interact with Viagra. Discuss all your current medications with your doctor before starting treatment.
Alcohol consumption can reduce the effectiveness of Viagra and increase the risk of side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is advised.
Viagra is not suitable for everyone. Conditions like heart disease, low blood pressure, or certain eye problems may preclude its use.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Open communication with your healthcare provider ensures safe and effective treatment.
