The usual starting dose of Sildenafil is 50mg, taken orally as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dosage may be adjusted by your doctor depending on your response and individual needs. Some men may find 25mg sufficient, while others might require 100mg.
Adjusting Your Dosage
Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor. Increasing the dose beyond 100mg is not recommended and can increase the risk of side effects. Similarly, decreasing the dose should be done under medical supervision. Your doctor will help determine the optimal dose for you.
Taking Sildenafil Safely
Take Sildenafil with a glass of water. Avoid taking it with grapefruit juice, which can affect its metabolism and potentially increase side effects. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period. Sildenafil’s effectiveness varies depending on individual factors, and consistent results aren’t guaranteed for every use.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These usually are mild and temporary. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a prolonged erection (priapism) or sudden vision loss. Your doctor can provide further information on potential side effects and how to manage them. Always report any adverse reactions.
