TIPS FOR TAKING VIAGRA

Take VIAGRA exactly as your doctor tells you to take it. He or she will tell you how much VIAGRA to take and when to take it.

Get into the mood. You will not get an erection just by taking VIAGRA. You must be sexually stimulated for it to work.
Take your time. VIAGRA usually starts to work within 30-60 minutes. You may take it up to 4 hours before sexual activity. So there's no need to rush.
VIAGRA can be taken with or without food. If you take VIAGRA after a high-fat meal (such as a cheeseburger and french fries), it may take a little longer to start working.
Do not take VIAGRA more than once a day. If you accidentally take too much VIAGRA, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.

IMPORTANT THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN STARTING VIAGRA

VIAGRA can cause your blood pressure to drop suddenly to an unsafe level if taken with certain other medicines. Do not take VIAGRA if you take any other medicines called "nitrates." Nitrates are used to treat chest pain (angina). A sudden drop in blood pressure can cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or have a heart attack or stroke.
Do not take VIAGRA if you take medicines called guanylate cyclase stimulators which include:
–Riociguat (Adempas®), a medicine that treats pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic-thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Tell all your healthcare providers that you take VIAGRA. If you need emergency medical care for a heart problem, it will be important for your healthcare provider to know when you last took VIAGRA.
Stop sexual activity and get medical help right away if you get symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sex.
Sexual activity can put an extra strain on your heart, especially if your heart is already weak from a heart attack or heart disease. Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough to handle the extra strain of having sex.
VIAGRA does not protect you or your partner from getting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV—the virus that causes AIDS.

FINDING THE RIGHT DOSE

For most men, the recommended dose is 50 mg. Your doctor will start you on the VIAGRA dose he or she thinks is right for you. Based on effectiveness and toleration, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. Be sure to tell your doctor about all of the medications you take and any other medical conditions as your dose may need to be adjusted.

If you’ve tried VIAGRA and if you're still not getting results, ask your doctor to see if adjusting your dose might help.
