Understanding Viagra Dosage Options at EverydayMeds
Available Dosage Strengths
Viagra is available in three standardised strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. The 50mg dose serves as the standard starting point for most patients, as recommended by MHRA guidance. Our prescribers may adjust this to 25mg for those requiring a lower dose due to tolerability concerns, or increase to 100mg for patients who may benefit from a higher strength. EverydayMeds stocks all three strengths to ensure personalised treatment.
Determining Your Appropriate Dose
During your online consultation, our UK-licensed prescribers will evaluate several factors to determine your optimal dosage. These include your medical history, current medications, cardiovascular health, and any previous experience with ED treatments. Age and liver function may also influence dosing decisions. The clinical assessment ensures you receive the most suitable strength whilst minimising potential side effects.
Viagra vs Sildenafil: Your Choice
At checkout, patients can choose between branded Viagra and generic sildenafil. Both contain the identical active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) in the same strengths and work in exactly the same way. The generic option typically costs significantly less whilst providing equivalent therapeutic benefits. This choice allows patients to select the option that best suits their preferences and budget requirements.
Dosing Guidelines and Safety
Regardless of strength chosen, take only one tablet within any 24-hour period. Viagra should be taken approximately 30-60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. The effects may last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean an erection will persist - sexual stimulation remains necessary. Avoid fatty meals before taking your dose, as this may delay the medication's onset of action.
When Dose Adjustment May Be Needed
Your prescriber might recommend starting with 25mg if you're over 65, have liver problems, or take certain medications. Conversely, if the 50mg dose proves insufficient, increasing to 100mg may be considered. Never adjust your dose without consulting your prescriber first. EverydayMeds provides ongoing support to ensure your treatment remains effective and appropriate for your needs.
