Always follow your doctor’s instructions for Viagra dosage. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken as needed, about one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and health conditions. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose of 100mg in a 24-hour period.
Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Important Note: Viagra interacts with certain medications, including nitrates. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Pre-existing heart conditions require careful consideration before Viagra use.
