The typical starting dose for Viagra is 50mg, taken as needed, about one hour before sexual activity. This dose works well for many men.
Your doctor might recommend a lower dose of 25mg if you’re older, have liver or kidney problems, or are taking certain medications. This adjustment minimizes potential side effects.
Conversely, if 50mg proves insufficient, your doctor may increase the dose to 100mg. However, this is the maximum recommended dose. Exceeding 100mg doesn’t necessarily improve results and increases the risk of side effects.
Important Note: Always consult your doctor before starting Viagra. They will assess your health status and determine the appropriate dose for you. Don’t self-medicate. They can also explain potential side effects and interactions with other medications.
Remember: Viagra’s effectiveness varies between individuals. Factors such as age, overall health, and the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction influence the optimal dosage.
Side effects can include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Discuss any concerns with your physician.
