Understanding Viagra Dosages and Potential Side Effects

Start with the recommended dose of 50mg, taken about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor might adjust this based on your response and health conditions. Don’t exceed 100mg in a 24-hour period.

Viagra’s effectiveness varies, so patience is key. If it doesn’t work, speak with your doctor before increasing the dosage.
