Viagra 100mg Tablets (Sildenafil)

Recommended Dosage of the Viagra 100mg Tablet

The advised starting dose for Viagra 100mg tablets is 50mg, to be taken when needed, about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, you can take it anytime from 30 minutes to 4 hours before engaging in sexual activity. It’s important not to use it more than once per day. Depending on how well it works for you and how your body responds, we can adjust the dose. It can be increased to the maximum recommended dose of 100mg or reduced to 25mg, based on effectiveness and tolerance.

Warnings and Precautions of Viagra Tablets

Warnings:

Be cautious about combining Viagra with certain medications, as it can lead to adverse or dangerous effects. Always inform your doctor about any medications you’re currently taking, especially riociguat (Adempas) and nitrates.

Avoid taking Viagra if you’re on a nitrate medication for chest pain or heart issues. This includes drugs like nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate, as well as recreational substances known as “poppers”. Mixing sildenafil with nitrate medication can dramatically lower your blood pressure to dangerous levels.

If you experience a painful erection or one that lasts more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help, as this condition, known as priapism, can cause permanent damage to the penis.

Discontinue Viagra and get emergency assistance if you suddenly lose sight.

Precautions:

Viagra is not suitable for everyone. Do not take Viagra if you have an allergy to sildenafil or if you’re taking medication for pulmonary arterial hypertension, such as riociguat (Adempas), or any nitrates.

Due to the serious risk of a sudden drop in blood pressure, do not use Viagra alongside nitrate drugs for chest pain or heart problems. This warning also applies to recreational drugs like amyl nitrate or nitrite (“poppers”).

To ensure Viagra is safe for you, share your medical history with your doctor, particularly if you have had:

Heart disease or rhythm problems, coronary artery disease.
A heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure.
High or low blood pressure.
Liver or kidney disease.
Blood cell disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.
A bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia.
A stomach ulcer.
Retinitis pigmentosa (a genetic condition affecting the eye).
A physical deformity of the penis, such as Peyronie’s disease.
Any condition where sexual activity is advised against for health reasons.
