Proper Viagra Dosing and Administration Guidelines
When to Take Your Viagra Tablet
Viagra should be taken approximately 30-60 minutes before you plan to engage in sexual activity. The medication typically begins working within this timeframe, though individual response times may vary. Sexual arousal is still required for Viagra to be effective - it does not cause automatic erections but enhances your body's natural response to stimulation.
Dosage Instructions
The standard starting dose is 50mg, though your prescriber may recommend 25mg if you're over 65 or have certain health conditions. Some patients may benefit from increasing to 100mg if the initial dose proves insufficient. Never exceed one tablet in any 24-hour period, regardless of the strength prescribed. EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil in all available strengths, with patients able to choose their preferred option during checkout.
How to Take the Tablet
Swallow your Viagra tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet as this may affect how the medication is absorbed. You can take Viagra with or without food, though fatty meals may delay the onset of effects by up to an hour.
Important Safety Considerations
Before taking Viagra, ensure you've disclosed all current medications during your consultation. Viagra must never be combined with nitrate medications (such as GTN spray) as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. If you experience chest pain during sexual activity, do not take nitrates - seek immediate medical attention instead.
What to Expect
Viagra's effects typically last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean you'll have an erection for this entire period. The medication simply makes it easier to achieve and maintain erections when sexually aroused during this window. If you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek emergency medical care immediately.
