Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Viagra dosage. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual health needs. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg per day.
Viagra is not suitable for everyone. Men with heart conditions, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems should discuss their suitability with a doctor before use. Concurrent use with certain medications, particularly nitrates, is strictly contraindicated and can be dangerous.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. Severe side effects, such as prolonged erection (priapism), are rare but require immediate medical attention. Seek immediate medical help if you experience chest pain, dizziness, or sudden vision loss.
Alcohol consumption can reduce the effectiveness of Viagra and increase the risk of side effects. Grapefruit juice should also be avoided, as it can interact negatively with the medication.
Viagra is designed for use only by men with erectile dysfunction. It is not a performance enhancer and should not be used by anyone without a prescription.
Regular checkups with your doctor are important, particularly if you experience any changes in your health or side effects. Open communication with your healthcare provider is key to safe and appropriate medication use.
