Generic Viagra, containing sildenafil citrate, is typically taken as needed, about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 50 mg. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual health conditions.
Adjusting Your Dose
Your doctor might prescribe a lower dose (25 mg) if you’re older than 65, have liver or kidney problems, or are taking certain medications. Conversely, if 50 mg proves insufficient, your doctor may increase it to 100 mg, the maximum recommended dose. Never exceed this amount without medical guidance.
Taking the Medication
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but avoid grapefruit juice as it can interact with sildenafil. Avoid taking more than one dose per day.
Important Considerations
This information provides general guidance. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. They will tailor the dosage and administration to your specific needs and health status. Discuss any potential side effects or interactions with your medications before beginning treatment.
