Viagra comes in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Your doctor will determine the best starting dose for you, typically 50mg.
Starting with the Right Dose
Most men begin with 50mg. This allows your doctor to assess your response and adjust accordingly. Individual needs vary greatly.
- Lower Dose (25mg): Prescribed if you’re older, have liver or kidney problems, or are taking certain medications that interact with Viagra. Higher Dose (100mg): Only prescribed if 50mg proves insufficient and your doctor deems it appropriate.
Dosage Frequency
The recommended frequency is once per day. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.
Factors Affecting Dosage
Age: Older men may require a lower starting dose. Health Conditions: Pre-existing heart, liver, or kidney issues can influence dosage. Medications: Interaction with other medications can necessitate dose adjustments.
Adjustments and Considerations
Your doctor might adjust your dose based on your experience and response. Open communication with your doctor is key to finding the optimal dose for you. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Seeking Medical Advice
Never change your dosage without consulting your doctor. They can provide personalized recommendations tailored to your specific health needs and circumstances. Remember to discuss any side effects you experience.
When to Take Viagra
Viagra typically takes effect within 30-60 minutes. It’s usually taken about an hour before sexual activity. It’s important to note the timing may differ slightly based on your metabolism and food consumption.
