The usual recommended dose of sildenafil (Viagra) for most individuals is 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and tolerability, this dose can be adjusted to 100mg or reduced to 25mg. Taking 200mg of sildenafil is not recommended without medical supervision and guidance.
The maximum recommended dose of sildenafil is 100mg per day. Taking more than this amount can increase the risk of experiencing side effects, such as headaches, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, dizziness, and visual disturbances. It can also potentially lead to more serious side effects, such as severe drops in blood pressure or priapism (a prolonged and painful erection).
If you feel that your current dose of sildenafil is not effective, or if you are considering increasing your dose, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider. They can evaluate your individual situation, medical history, and any other medications you may be taking to determine the appropriate dose of sildenafil for you. Self-medicating or adjusting your dose without medical guidance can be unsafe and may not provide the desired results.
Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage of sildenafil to ensure your safety and optimize the effectiveness of the medication.
