Take the pill with a glass of water, at least one hour before anticipated sexual activity. Avoid fatty meals beforehand; they can delay absorption.
The effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes, though this varies. Expect an increase in blood flow to the penis, leading to easier erections.
Dosage is usually 50mg, but your doctor may adjust this. Follow their instructions precisely. Don’t exceed the recommended dose.
Side effects are possible; the most common include headache, flushing, and nasal congestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Severe side effects are rare, but seek immediate medical attention if you experience prolonged erection (priapism) or sudden vision changes.
Viagra isn’t a performance enhancer; it helps achieve an erection only when you’re already sexually stimulated. Think of it as assisting your body’s natural process.
Alcohol can interfere with the medication’s effectiveness. Limit your alcohol intake.
