Viagra’s effectiveness varies, but generally, you can expect an erection lasting 4 to 6 hours after taking a dose. This timeframe isn’t fixed; individual responses differ based on factors like dosage, overall health, and even the specific batch of medication.
Several factors influence duration. A higher dose might prolong the effect, but always follow your doctor’s prescription. Underlying health conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, can also affect how long Viagra works. Consider discussing any potential interactions with your doctor before use.
Important Note: While Viagra can help achieve and maintain an erection, it doesn’t automatically guarantee a prolonged, continuous erection for the entire duration. The effect is more accurately described as increased ability to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation within the timeframe mentioned above. If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours, seek immediate medical attention. This is considered a medical emergency.
