The typical starting dose of generic Viagra (sildenafil) is 50 mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dose can be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg based on individual response and tolerance. Never exceed 100 mg in a 24-hour period.
Taking the Medication
Take the tablet with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it on an empty stomach may lead to faster absorption. Alcohol consumption can affect the effectiveness of sildenafil, so moderation is advised.
Important Considerations
Generic Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. Conditions like heart problems, low blood pressure, or certain eye conditions may contraindicate its use. Always discuss potential interactions with other medications you’re taking with your doctor before starting sildenafil. Regular check-ups with your physician are recommended while using this medication. These check-ups ensure that the medication is still working effectively and safely for you.
