The typical starting dose of Viagra for erectile dysfunction is 50 mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dose is suitable for most men. However, your doctor might prescribe a lower dose (25 mg) if you have certain health conditions or are taking other medications that interact with Viagra. Conversely, if 50 mg isn’t effective enough, your doctor may increase the dose to 100 mg.
Maximum Dosage and Frequency
The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg per day. Do not take more than one tablet within a 24-hour period. Consistent use beyond the recommended dose does not enhance effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Individualized Treatment
Your doctor will determine the appropriate Viagra dosage based on your individual health status, medical history, and response to treatment. Factors such as age, liver and kidney function, and any other medications you take play a significant role in dosage recommendations. Open communication with your doctor is paramount for optimal treatment.
