Generic Viagra, containing sildenafil citrate, is typically taken as needed, about one hour before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 50 mg.
Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response and any pre-existing health conditions. A lower dose of 25 mg might be prescribed if you experience side effects or have certain medical issues. Conversely, a higher dose of 100 mg may be used if 50 mg proves ineffective, but this is less common.
Take the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid taking it with grapefruit juice, which can affect how your body processes sildenafil. The effects of Viagra usually last for about 4 hours.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. Taking more than one tablet within 24 hours is generally not advisable and can increase the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Remember to discuss any health conditions or medications you are currently taking with your doctor before starting generic Viagra. This ensures a safe and effective treatment plan.
