Begin with a 50mg dose, taken approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. This allows sufficient time for the medication to take effect. Individual responses vary, so this starting point allows for adjustment based on your personal experience.
Assessing Your Response
Pay close attention to the effects of the 50mg dose. Note the onset of action, duration of effects, and any side effects experienced. A doctor can help interpret your experience and recommend appropriate adjustments if needed. Document your experience to help you and your doctor make informed decisions.
Adjusting Your Dose
If the 50mg dose proves insufficient, your physician may recommend increasing the dose to 100mg. However, never exceed the maximum recommended dose without consulting a healthcare professional. Increasing the dosage should only be done under medical supervision.
Possible Side Effects and Cautions
Common side effects may include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. Severe side effects, such as prolonged erection (priapism), chest pain, or sudden vision loss, require immediate medical attention. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.
