If you have been following our blog, you will know that we recently wrote about the increasing popularity of the “mini-me” Viagra. A lot has happened since then, including a change in the law in Germany that makes it much easier for pharmacists to legally supply “off-label” prescriptions. This has made creating a cheap, yet high-quality knock-off easier for any company willing to take the risk.
Since then, we have been inundated with emails from readers wanting to know if they can take two 50mg tablets of Viagra at once, or if they have to take it sequentially. Based on the new information we have since gathered, the answer is a resounding “yes, you can take two 50mg Viagra and save yourself some money”, but you must be careful about what medication you are taking and how much of it you are taking.
When Can I Take Two 50mg Viagra?
The short answer is: whenever you want! In theory, any medication that is available for oral consumption can be split into two and taken twice as often. This makes a lot of medications, including Viagra, available to be split and taken twice as often as you would normally take them. If you take a medimeter with you, doubling the dose does usually mean twice the effect, but this is not always the case. Viagra is classified as a PDE-5 inhibitor, which means it works by increasing the blood flow to the penis. Once this occurs, it gets engorged with blood and becomes rigid, allowing for easy penetration by your partner. Depending on how long you have been taking the drug, you may need to split it into two and take it twice daily for best results.
Dosage
The number of tablets you take depends on how much you want to double the effect of the medication. If you have been taking 50mg daily and want to double the effect, you should take 100mg. However, many doctors and drug experts believe that it is often better to start low and increase the dose slowly, as this has been shown to reduce the risk of side effects. In these situations, it is usually advised to start with one 50mg tablet daily, and then increase the dose by one tablet every two weeks. For instance, after one week of taking one 50mg tablet, you should increase your dose to two 50mg tablets daily. After another week, you should increase your dose to three 50mg tablets daily, and so on.
Viagra Contraindications
Viagra is a safe medication and almost everyone can and should try it. The only people who should not try it are those who are allergic to any medications containing nitrates or who have a history of angina pectoris, heart disease, or low blood pressure. Do not take Viagra if you are also taking medications that contain phosphates (such as Colace), as this may cause a dangerously high pH level in your blood. You should not take Viagra if you are also taking potassium-sparing diuretics, as this may cause hyperkalemia (elevated blood potassium levels). Finally, do not take Viagra if you are also taking MAO inhibitors or any other medications that contain “cheese” (e.g., paracetamol, ibuprofen, and aspirin) or alcohol, as this may increase the risk of a severe adverse reaction. In these situations, either skip the alcohol or discontinue the medication, as both cannot be taken together.
Side Effects
The most common side effect of Viagra is headache, which affects about 7% of people. This side effect is generally mild and only lasts for a few hours, or it can be helped with simple pain medication. Other side effects include indigestion, heartburn, and facial flushing. These affect less than 1% of people and are usually mild. The most serious and possibly life-threatening side effect is pulmonary hypertension, which can lead to right heart failure and ultimately death. This is extremely rare and happens only in people with preexisting heart disease, especially if they are also taking potassium-sparing diuretics. Therefore, if you experience any of the symptoms of heart disease, from dizziness to shortness of breath, you should stop taking Viagra and consult with your doctor. In some situations, the risk of this reaction may be increased if you take a higher dose than recommended or if you use an unapproved medication to treat your erectile dysfunction. In these cases, it is essential that you seek medical help as soon as possible. If you are on a medication of any kind, always consult with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any other medication, especially if it is not approved for use in combination with your current medication. Remember: no drug is without some risk, and you must be prepared to accept this fact. Even in the case of Viagra, there is a chance that you could experience side effects, but these are usually mild and short-lived. The risk of serious side effects is extremely low, and most people experience only mild effects while taking this medication.
As we already mentioned, the mini-me version of Viagra has become incredibly popular since its initial release. This is largely because there are a lot of people who want to treat erectile dysfunction but do not want to spend a large sum of money on a single medication. If you are one of these people, then you should look into getting a pair of these medications for the best price possible. The fact is, you can get a 50mg pill of Viagra for around USD 7.50, and you can get a 100mg pill for around USD 12.50. In some places, you can also find a 100mg pill that is sold for around USD 13. This is much cheaper than buying a 150mg pill, for example, as that would cost you around USD 23.50. Plus, you are getting twice the dose! If you want further savings, you can get the drug without a prescription and split it with a friend – saving you both some money while also ensuring you get your medication quickly and affordably! Many people also believe that taking two 50mg prescriptions at once is more effective than taking a single 100mg pill due to the fact that it takes longer for the effects of the first pill to wear off before you can start feeling the effects of the second one. If you are experiencing any side effects from taking one pill every day, particularly if these are worsening and more frequent, then you should consult with your doctor as soon as possible. In most cases, this will be a simple fix or adjustment to your medication. If this does not work, then you should switch to taking Viagra twice a day, or even once every two days depending on the severity of the side effects you are experiencing.
In conclusion, Viagra is a safe and effective medication for erectile dysfunction, and almost everyone can and should try it. However, if you experience any side effects, from mild headaches to more severe reactions such as angina pectoris or heart disease, then you should stop taking the drug and consult with your doctor. Remember, no drug is without side effects, but these are usually mild and short-lived. The most serious side effects of Viagra are usually related to people who have preexisting heart disease. Therefore, people who are at risk of heart disease or who have had a heart attack should not and cannot take this medication, as it may do more harm than good in these situations. If you are one of these people, then you should consult with your doctor before taking any medication, especially if it is an erectile dysfunction medication.
