Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Viagra dosage. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken as needed, about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor might adjust this based on your response and any pre-existing health conditions. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose of 100mg in a 24-hour period.
Common Side Effects
Viagra can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. These commonly include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious side effects.
Less Common Side Effects
Less common side effects can include dizziness, muscle aches, back pain, and changes in color vision. If any side effect bothers you or persists, contact your doctor. They can discuss alternative treatments or dosage adjustments.
