Understanding Viagra’s Dosage and Side Effects

Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Viagra dosage. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor might adjust this based on your response and individual health needs. Doses range from 25mg to 100mg. Never exceed the recommended dose.

Common Side Effects

Many men experience mild side effects. These often include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances like temporary blue-tinted vision. These usually resolve on their own. More serious side effects, though rare, include prolonged erection (priapism) and sudden vision or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.

Less Common Side Effects

Other possible side effects, although less frequent, are dizziness, indigestion, muscle aches, and back pain. If any side effect bothers you or persists, contact your doctor. He or she can discuss alternative treatments or dosage adjustments.

Remember to inform your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications before starting Viagra, including heart problems, blood pressure issues, and existing eye or hearing conditions. This ensures safe and appropriate use.
