Getting the Best Results from VIAGRA
Did you know that there are things you can do to improve your experience with VIAGRA?
Try these four things to help get the best results from VIAGRA:
- Get into the mood
VIAGRA won't give you an instant erection. It only works when you're sexually aroused. - Take your time
VIAGRA can work for up to 4 hours. So relax. There's plenty of time. Begin by taking VIAGRA 30 minutes to 1 hour before having sex. You might find that VIAGRA works faster for you. For some men, it works in as little as 14 minutes.* - Eat smart before you start
VIAGRA is effective with or without food and alcohol. But to get the quickest results, avoid high-fat meals 2 hours before taking VIAGRA. A fatty meal—like a cheeseburger and fries—can slow your body's ability to absorb the drug. When this happens, VIAGRA may not work as quickly. - If at first you don't succeed…
For most men, VIAGRA works the first or second time. But some men need to ease back into sex. So if VIAGRA doesn't work, don't give up. Try taking it again. And remember, for most men, VIAGRA can be taken as often as once a day—every day.
If you still don't get results, talk to your doctor. Often an adjustment in your dose can make a difference.
*Data taken from a study of 228 men with ED who previously had success with VIAGRA. Of the 115 men who took VIAGRA 100 mg, 35% had erections hard enough for successful intercourse at 14 minutes, and 51% of men at 20 minutes.
VIAGRA is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BELOW.
Do not take VIAGRA if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.
Discuss your general health status with your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex, seek immediate medical help.
In the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.
If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25 mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48-hour period.
In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA, and call a doctor right away.
Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been rarely reported in people taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking VIAGRA and contact a doctor right away.
If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of VIAGRA.
VIAGRA should not be used with other treatments that cause erections. VIAGRA should not be used with REVATIO as REVATIO contains sildenafil, the same medicine found in VIAGRA.
VIAGRA does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
The most common side effects of VIAGRA are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.
