Viagra has changed the game for many men who want to have fun with sexual activity. For years, sexual dysfunction was shrouded in mystery, with many men being too embarrassed to talk about it. Thanks to modern medicine and the invention of Viagra, today we know a lot more about sexual dysfunction and how to properly treat it.
One of the first questions new patients usually ask me is, “How much does a dose of Viagra cost?” Before I give them the grand tour of the medication site, I usually tell them that a 30-day supply is very affordable and that it is sometimes even covered by insurance. After they cancel their first two prescriptions, they usually ask about the different types of Viagra. Luckily, I have all the answers they might need and can direct them to the proper information. So let’s dig into how to find the right Viagra dosage for you.
Determining Dosage
When a patient asks about the cost of Viagra or whether their insurance will cover it, my first question is always, “How long have you been having problems?” The answer to this question will dictate the appropriate dosage for that patient. Patients who have been experiencing trouble for a short time usually require a low dose of Viagra, while the opposite is usually true for men who have been struggling with ED for a long time.
Less Is More
The first and most essential rule when taking any medication or supplement is to start low and gradually increase your dose as needed. This is especially important with medications like Viagra, which can have unpleasant side effects at high doses. Men who want to get the full benefits of this medication need to take a lower dose for the first few weeks and then gradually increase their dose as needed. For example, if a patient is suddenly unable to get an erection, they will need to decrease their dose whereas men who have been experiencing ED for years may need to increase their dose to reap the benefits of the medication.
Start At A Low Dose
Every medication and supplement has a recommended starting dose, which is usually low and needs to be gradually increased over time to reap the benefits of the medication. In the case of Viagra, the recommended starting dose is between 50 and 100 mg, depending on the brand and form of the medication. If a patient starts off with a low dose and gradually increases their dose until they achieve the right balance, they will usually notice benefits in less than two weeks. For some individuals, this might be all they need to start experiencing improvement, while others may need to try several different doses to find the right one for them.
Try Several Doses
There are patients who will respond better to a medication called Viagra Professional, which is a fast-acting version of the drug. For some men, the benefits of Viagra Professional appear to last longer than those of standard Viagra. Professional Viagra is designed to be taken twice a day, with the maximum recommended dose being six times a day for some patients. For this reason, it’s often the choice of physicians when a patient needs to get the most benefits from their medication as soon as possible. However, for some individuals, the standard form of Viagra might be sufficient and it’s best to start off with a low dose and then gradually increase your dose as needed.
Look For Combinations
There are a few medications, including Viagra, which are frequently prescribed for patients who have a combination of problems, such as ED and low testosterone. For these individuals, it’s important to look for medications that can be used to treat both conditions. For example, some men with ED may benefit from using a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor along with Viagra. PDE5 inhibitors increase the effect of the Viagra by preventing the breakdown of cGMP in the penile tissue. This helps to maintain an erection for longer. The additional benefits of this combination are that it has been shown in clinical studies to increase sexual desire and to improve the orgasmic experience for men with ED. It’s important to note that these medications can also help to increase the risk of stroke and heart attack, so it’s essential to keep your overall health in mind when taking them.
Watch Out For Side Effects
It’s important to note that while many men have found great success taking Viagra, the drug is not without its risks. One of the most common side effects of this medication is headache, which can be severe in some patients. In addition, there is also the potential for side effects such as heart attack, stroke, and priapism (an erection that persists for more than four hours). If you are taking any medications or supplements, it’s imperative that you discuss all the potential risks with your physician so that you can be on the right side of the medicine formulary.
Benefits Of Viagra
As mentioned above, the potential for adverse effects from using Viagra is relatively high. Fortunately, the benefits of this medication far outweigh the risks in most cases. Most men who take Viagra report significant improvement in their ability to attain and maintain an erection, as well as an improvement in their overall mood. In addition, many men report that their sex drives have increased as a result of taking the drug. Men who are already benefitting from these positive effects may not even need to increase their dose as much as they would have if they hadn’t tried Viagra.
There are also men who have found that certain medications, including Viagra, can help to increase their overall energy level. If you are someone who often feels lethargic or low-energy, it might be a good idea to try taking a medication called Viagra. In general, men who are on a daily basis experiencing one or more of these benefits have been found to require a lower dose than men who are having trouble with ED for the first time or who have been on the medication for a long time. In some cases, it can take up to two weeks for these effects to fully manifest themselves.
Considerations
When selecting the proper dosage of Viagra for yourself, it is important to consider a number of different factors. First and foremost, your physician will need to determine your weight, whether you are on any medications, and whether or not you have any medical conditions. In addition, you need to ask yourself whether or not you are experiencing any side effects from the drug. If you are, it might be a good idea to try a different dose or even a different form of the medication. It is also important to keep in mind that while Viagra can significantly improve your sex life, it can’t give you back your youth or vitality. If you are looking for a medication to help you regain your youth, you might want to take a look at our all-natural solution, Panax ginseng, which has been shown in clinical studies to increase overall sexual function and to boost the stamina of patients taking Viagra. In addition, yohimbine has also been shown in studies to increase the effect of Viagra for some patients. Yohimbine is derived from the yohimbe tree, which is native to Africa. It is frequently used in treatment of hypertension and is one of the most effective natural remedies for ED and low libido. The main issue with this medication is that it can cause nausea in some patients which might require a reduction in the dosage.
Ultimately, the decision to determine the right dose of Viagra for yourself will depend on your personal needs and the results you are looking for. In most cases, a low dose will be all that’s needed to start with and then you can always increase your dose as needed. In some instances, this might mean starting out with a higher dose and then lowering it as needed.
