The typical starting dose for Sildenafil to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) is 50mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dose provides a balance between efficacy and minimizing potential side effects.
Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your individual response and tolerance. A lower dose of 25mg might be prescribed if you experience side effects at the 50mg dose. Conversely, if 50mg proves ineffective, your doctor might increase it to 100mg, the maximum recommended dose. Remember, exceeding 100mg is not advised due to increased risk of side effects.
Important Note: Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician. They will consider your medical history, other medications you are taking, and overall health to determine the most appropriate dose for you. Open communication with your doctor is key to safe and effective treatment.
Factors influencing dosage: Age, liver and kidney function, and the presence of other health conditions can all impact the appropriate Sildenafil dose. Your doctor will carefully assess these factors before prescribing.
