Men
Erectile Dysfunction
Viagra is the brand name for a formulation of the active ingredient, sildenafil citrate developed by Pfizer Inc, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). A different formulation of sildenafil citrate is used to treat high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and right side of the heart, called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), under Pfizer’s other brand name, Revatio.
Viagra and other ED medications all work the same way: by blocking an enzyme that can act to reduce blood flow to the soft tissue of the penis. The result is increased blood flow to the penis and firmer, longer-lasting erections.
Men who use Viagra and other ED drugs typically find that their erections are harder and last longer than without medication. This can result in improved sexual performance and for many men, greater sexual enjoyment.
However, despite its popularity and effectiveness in treating ED, Viagra comes with serious risks, side effects and potential interactions with other drugs. It’s important to get the right dose, which is normally the minimum dose which is effective.
Viagra is available in three doses:
Viagra is available in different doses because the goal when taking ED medication, and most medications for that matter, is to find the lowest dose that still gets positive results, meaning a satisfactory erection. The goal is not to find the highest dose of Viagra you can handle, but to find a dose that is safe and effective.
For most men, the recommended starting dose is 50mg. Based on effect and what is tolerated, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100mg or decreased to 25mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day.
The right starting dose of Viagra can vary depending on a variety of health and lifestyle factors, such as:
Every man who uses ED medication has different needs. Expectations for ED drugs vary as does tolerance for the medication. For some men, 25 mg of Viagra is all they need to have a great sexual experience. Others have to take the maximum dose (100 mg) to achieve the same result.
It is important to work with your doctor to find the right dose, based on your expectations, medical history and any side effects. It may be useful to know that outside the US, you don’t need a doctor’s prescription for Viagra. In the UK, Viagra is available over the counter from the local pharmacies or registered online pharmacies without a prescription, under the name Viagra Connect. So, if you’re traveling to or in the UK, talking to a local pharmacist is a good way to find the right Viagra dose for you.
Above all, be honest about your medical history and always follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. Don’t change your dose without talking to the right healthcare practitioner, bearing in mind that more Viagra doesn’t always mean a stronger erection. In fact, higher doses often come with more frequent side effects.
