Always take Viagra exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical dose is 50mg, taken about one hour before sexual activity. Adjustments may be made based on individual needs and response, ranging from 25mg to 100mg. Never exceed the recommended dosage.
Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis, aiding in achieving an erection. It’s crucial to understand that Viagra does not increase sexual desire; it only assists in achieving and maintaining an erection when sexually stimulated.
- Timing: Take Viagra approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. The effects can last for up to four hours. Dosage: Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Don’t adjust your dose without consulting them. Frequency: Do not take more than one dose per day. Food and Alcohol: While not strictly prohibited, excessive alcohol consumption can reduce Viagra’s effectiveness. Fatty meals may slightly delay absorption.
While generally safe, Viagra can cause side effects. These are usually mild and temporary, but you should report any concerning symptoms to your doctor.
Common side effects: Headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, visual disturbances (blurred vision, changes in color perception). Less common but serious side effects: Prolonged or painful erection (priapism), sudden loss of vision or hearing, chest pain, irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Viagra is not suitable for everyone. You should not use Viagra if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver or kidney problems, certain types of eye disease, or a history of stroke. Always inform your doctor of all your medical conditions and medications before starting Viagra.
