The recommended starting dose of Viagra is 50 mg taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. Don’t take more than one 50mg tablet in a 24-hour period.
Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response and individual health needs. They might prescribe a lower dose of 25 mg or a higher dose of 100 mg, but always follow their instructions precisely.
Factors Affecting Dosage
Several factors influence the appropriate Viagra dose. These include your age, overall health, liver and kidney function, and any other medications you’re taking. Certain conditions, such as heart problems, can affect the recommended dosage. Open communication with your physician is vital.
How to Take Viagra
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but taking it on an empty stomach may speed up absorption.
Dosage Table:
| 25 | Once daily (as needed) | Usually for those with certain health conditions or those who experience side effects at higher doses. |
| 50 | Once daily (as needed) | Common starting dose. |
| 100 | Once daily (as needed) | Higher dose, used only if 50mg is ineffective and under strict medical supervision. |
Missed Dose
Viagra is taken only as needed. If you miss a dose because you didn’t need it, simply take the next dose as prescribed when needed.
Overdose
Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect an overdose. Symptoms may include chest pain, dizziness, or visual disturbances.
