Viagra Dosage and Administration: A Practical Guide

Start with the recommended dose of 50 mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity.

Your doctor may adjust this based on your individual needs and response. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg per day. Do not exceed this amount.

Take Viagra with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but a heavy, fatty meal may delay absorption.

The effects of Viagra usually last for about 4 hours. However, this can vary depending on individual factors.

Alcohol consumption can reduce the effectiveness of Viagra and may increase the risk of side effects. Limit your alcohol intake.

Grapefruit juice can interact with Viagra, potentially increasing its levels in your blood. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Viagra.
