Viagra (sildenafil) treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. Take it as prescribed, typically 50mg orally about one hour before sexual activity. Adjustments may be made to 25mg or 100mg depending on individual response and doctor’s recommendation. Don’t exceed the maximum recommended dose.
Dosage and Administration
Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Never take more than one dose in 24 hours. Food can slightly delay absorption; take it on an empty stomach for fastest effect. Viagra’s effects usually last 4-5 hours. Dosage depends on factors including age, overall health, and other medications.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Less frequent, but potentially serious, side effects involve sudden vision loss or hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
