The typical starting dose of Viagra is 50 mg. Your doctor may prescribe a lower dose (25 mg) depending on your health status or if you’re over 65 or have liver or kidney problems. Conversely, if 50 mg proves ineffective, the dose can be increased to 100 mg. Remember, never exceed 100 mg in a 24-hour period.
Factors Influencing Dosage
Several factors influence the right Viagra dosage for you. Your age, overall health, and any other medications you’re taking play a significant role. Pre-existing conditions, such as heart disease, can also necessitate a careful adjustment of the dosage.
Dosage Adjustments
Your doctor will monitor your response to the medication and adjust the dosage accordingly. They’ll consider both the effectiveness and any potential side effects. Open communication with your doctor is key to finding the optimal dose.
