The standard starting dose of Viagra is 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual health needs. Never exceed 100mg in a 24-hour period.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Viagra interacts with certain medications, including nitrates. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking before starting Viagra. Alcohol can also intensify side effects; moderate consumption is advised.
Viagra is not suitable for everyone. Pre-existing heart conditions, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems can influence its use. Consult your physician to determine if Viagra is appropriate for you.
