Sildenafil 100mg is typically taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 50mg, and your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual needs.
Timing and Frequency
Take Sildenafil 100mg only when you anticipate sexual activity. Don’t take it more than once daily. Consistency isn’t necessary; take it only as needed.
Important Considerations
- Food: While Sildenafil can be taken with or without food, taking it on an empty stomach may lead to faster onset of action. Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption can impair your ability to achieve an erection and may interact with Sildenafil. Moderate consumption is advised. Grapefruit: Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as it can increase Sildenafil levels in your blood, potentially leading to side effects.
Dosage Adjustments
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you. They may adjust it based on factors like your age, overall health, and response to treatment. Always follow their instructions carefully.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, simply take it as soon as you remember, provided you anticipate sexual activity within a reasonable timeframe. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor immediately.
Storage
Store Sildenafil at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children. Dispose of any expired medication properly.
