After more than a decade, Viagra remains one of the most popular pharmaceuticals worldwide. Originally designed as a medication for treating erectile dysfunction (ED), the active ingredient in Viagra has now been shown to possess potent antioxidant and neuroprotective properties that go beyond its effect on the penis. Additionally, modern science has allowed pharmaceutical manufacturers to create new formulations of the drug that are more potent and effective than those that originally came on the market in the 1990s. As a result, many people are now taking Viagra more than once per day, especially since the introduction of extended-release (ER) and/or long-acting (LA) Viagra in recent years. However, how much Viagra should I take in one day? More importantly, how much should I take at first? And for how long should I take it? This article discusses the most up-to-date information regarding these questions and offers some insight into which formulations of Viagra might be right for you.
What Is the Right Dose of Viagra For My Body Type?
The first consideration when choosing an ED medication is your body type. While all bodies respond in a similar way to the drug, some benefit more than others from a specific dose of Viagra. To determine the right dose of Viagra for your body type, input the following information into a nutrition calculator (www.myweightlosscouk.com/tools/calculators/):
- Your current weight
- How many hours of sleep you get each night
- How active you are (in other words, how much exercise you get)
- If you smoke, how much you smoke
- What is your diet like (i.e., how many servings of vegetables and fruit do you eat each day)?
- What is your drinking like (i.e., how much alcohol do you consume)?
- Do you take any supplements (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E, gingko biloba, coenzyme Q10)?
The result of this calculation will give you an estimate of how many mg of Viagra you need to take to achieve the desired effect. For example, if you are a male weighing approximately 70 kg (roughly 155 lbs) and you want to achieve an erection that lasts for five hours, you will need to take approximately 140 mg of Viagra. This amount can be adjusted according to how quickly you respond to the drug and how long you want the effect to last. In general, you should start with a low dose and increase it slowly until you find what works best for you.
When Should I Take My Daily Dose Of Viagra?
The second consideration when choosing an ED medication is the timing of your daily dose. Like most drugs, Viagra has a specific, optimum time of day when you should take it to get the desired effect. Unfortunately, determining this time can be rather tricky. To help you find the optimum time, experiment with taking your dose at different hours and see which time works best for you. Some people prefer to take their dose first thing in the morning, while others find it works better if they wait until late afternoon.
One important factor to consider is that the optimal time of day for taking Viagra varies from person to person. Additionally, you should always follow the instructions that come with your medication, as taking it at the wrong time or in the wrong quantity can lead to serious health problems. As a general rule of thumb, you should take it between 30 minutes and one hour before you eat; however, this time can vary based on how quickly you respond to the drug and whether you want the effect to last or quickly wear off. Additionally, if you experience negative side effects, such as headache, upset stomach, or dizziness, you should stop taking the drug and consult your doctor immediately.
Which Formulation of Viagra Should I Choose?
The third consideration when choosing an ED medication is the type of formulation you should take. Different pharmaceutical companies produce different tablets and liquids that contain the same active ingredient as Viagra but differ in their taste, appearance, and/or feel on the tongue. As a result, not all tablets and liquids manufactured by a specific company are created equal; some may be more effective than others. To determine which one is right for you, consider the dosage and the effect you desire (i.e., how much sexual energy do you want to regain?). If you are brand loyal, you may want to try several different formulations before finding one that suits you best. Alternatively, you may want to consult with your doctor or a pharmacy advocate (www.medicinesf.org) to find out which one of their providers has generally been the most beneficial for people like you.
As a general rule, you should choose a tablet that dissolves quickly in the mouth and/or has a pleasant taste. If you are still recovering from surgery or have a medical condition that affects your ability to swallow (e.g., a pacemaker, a defibrillator, or an esophageal stricture), you should take a liquid formulation instead. Additionally, the taste of a liquid formulation is generally considered to be less offensive than that of a tablet by most people, especially since liquids do not easily settle in the mouth. If you are worried about the aftertaste of a tablet, you should speak with your doctor about alternative options that might be more comfortable for you.
Should I Be Using This Medication If I’ve Already Experienced Erectile Dysfunction?
The fourth consideration when choosing an ED medication is whether or not you should be trying this medication if you’ve already experienced ED. If you experience reoccurring episodes of ED, it is a good idea to speak with your doctor about alternative treatments that may be more suitable for you. Nevertheless, even for people who’ve never had ED, there is still a chance that they’ll experience some side effects from this drug. To reduce the risk of unpleasant side effects, experiment with taking a lower dose at first and see how you respond before deciding whether or not to continue with the drug. Additionally, if you have experienced negative side effects from previous medication trials, you should consult with your doctor before trying again.
To help you find the right ED medication for you, consider speaking with a nutritionist or a pharmacist who knows about allergies and drug interactions (www.myweightlosscouk.com/tools/interactions/) as well as your doctor. With a little bit of research and experimentation, you may find what works best for you, and everyone around you will benefit from the safe and effective use of ED medication.
