Begin with the lowest recommended dose (25mg). Your doctor will likely start you here. This allows your body to adjust gradually.
Effectiveness: If 25mg isn’t effective, your doctor may increase the dose to 50mg. This is the most common dosage. In some cases, a higher dose of 100mg may be considered, but this should only be done under strict medical supervision due to increased side effect risk.
Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. If side effects are bothersome, inform your doctor. They may suggest a lower dose or alternative treatment.
Serious side effects such as prolonged erection (priapism), vision changes, or chest pain require immediate medical attention. Stop taking the medication and seek help immediately if you experience these.
Individual Factors: Age, overall health, and other medications you’re taking all influence the appropriate dosage. Your doctor will consider these factors when determining the best dose for you. Open communication with your doctor is key.
Dosage Frequency: Generally, Viagra is taken as needed, about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor will advise on the appropriate frequency based on your individual needs and health.
Important Note: Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor. Self-adjusting the dosage can be risky and may lead to ineffective treatment or serious side effects.
