No, we’re not talking about woodpecker pills here; we’re talking about the maximum effect that Viagra can have on a man. Or more accurately, what is the maximum permissible dose for men with respect to Viagra? The short answer is: It depends on the person taking the medication and the dosage form. What follows is a more detailed explanation.

The Physiological Response To Sildenafil (Viagra)

To begin with, let’s take a moment to discuss sildenafil, also known as Viagra. This medication helps reduce the effects of erectile dysfunction and allows men with this condition to get and keep an erection hard enough for penetration. What is important to bear in mind is that the effect of sildenafil is dependent on how much of it a person consumes and how fast he or she takes it. The more a person takes, the more effective it is; however, over the counter (OTC) sildenafil is not approved for use by patients with certain heart conditions, so it must be prescribed by a physician. Fortunately, Viagra is quite affordable, as its price is only a fraction of what a person would usually pay for an equivalent prescription drug.

When Does Sildenafil Start To Work?

As mentioned, the effect of sildenafil is dependent on both how much of it you consume and how fast you take it. The usual recommended starting dosage for most men is 50 milligrams (mg). To put this into context, one 50 mg tablet of sildenafil would be the equivalent of approximately 20 milliliters (ml) of a liquid solution. This is what the pharmaceutical company Pfizer calls a ‘suggested starting dose’ and it is usually plenty for most men. In fact, it is usually more than enough, even for men whose bodies are naturally large and thus require a higher dosage. In most cases, the recommended starting dose of sildenafil is effective within 30 minutes of consumption and the onset of activity is typically rapid and fairly short-lived.

How Long Does It Take For Sildenafil To Work?

In the same way that the effect of sildenafil is dependent on the amount that a person takes and how fast they take it, the time it takes for this medication to work is also contingent on these factors. More specifically, it takes about 30 minutes for the effect of sildenafil to be fully realized and last for a couple of hours. After that, your penis will continue to get harder, as long as you continue to take the medication. However, if you stop taking sildenafil, the effect will disappear within a couple of hours. Obviously, this is not what anyone wants, so it is important to keep taking the medication as prescribed.

Is The Effect Of Sildenafil (Viagra) Long-Lasting?

The answer to this question is again, it depends on the person taking the medication and the dosage form. Generally speaking, most men report that the effect of sildenafil (Viagra) is long-lived, persisting for several hours after they stop taking the medication. This is important to bear in mind, especially if you are taking this medication on a regular basis. In this case, it might be best to take the medication on a weekly basis or every other week, so that the effect lasts as long as possible. Naturally, this also means that the medication will need to be replenished every seven days if taken on a weekly basis or every fourteen days if taken on an every other week basis. In either scenario, it is important to follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist carefully and be sure to take the correct and appropriate dose for your situation. This will help ensure that the maximum effect is obtained and that you continue to enjoy the benefits of sildenafil (Viagra)

The Different Dosage Forms Of Sildenafil (Viagra)

Now that you know a little bit about the physiology and effects of sildenafil (Viagra), let’s discuss the different dosage forms available. These are the tablets, the liquid, and the injection, each one presenting its own challenges for dosing. As for the tablets, the usual recommended starting dose is 50 mg. In some cases, this may be too much for some men, while in others, it may be just the right dose. The solution is to begin with the lowest dose possible and then increase it gradually, until the desired effect is obtained. Usually, this will take a couple of weeks of trial and error before the right dose is found. Once this is accomplished, the dose can be remained stable for the rest of the person’s life. Naturally, if you have an indication for Viagra (sildenafil), your physician will be able to advise you on the proper dose for your situation. As for the liquid, the usual recommended dose is 25 mg, taken as soon as possible following the medication’s ingestion. This is a fairly high dose and it may take a while for it to settle in your system. Injections are generally considered the most dangerous form of dosing sildenafil, as over- or underdosing could potentially be dangerous. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence, as normally, it is taken that the correct dose is a clinically significant amount and it is therefore necessary to follow the instructions of your physician carefully.

Should You Consult Your Doctor Before Increasing Your Sildenafil (Viagra) Dose?

Taking high-quality care of yourself is extremely important, especially if you are prescribed a medication, like sildenafil (Viagra). This is why it is critical that before increasing your dose, you consult with your physician. Even increasing your dose, by a small amount, could potentially be dangerous. This is why, if possible, you should always try to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully. In terms of the overall effect of sildenafil (Viagra) on a person, most men report that a dose of 100 mg is the maximum that should be taken for the desired effect, without risking adverse reactions. Naturally, this is only in ideal conditions and with respect to one’s personal situation. Everyone is different and this should be taken into consideration, before increasing your dose, especially if you have not followed your physician’s instructions correctly.

In conclusion, there is really no magic number for how much sildenafil (Viagra) a person should take. Instead, it is advisable to try and find the smallest dose that is effective for your situation and increase it slowly, until the desired effect is obtained. In most cases, this will be one 50 mg tablet or two 25 mg tablets, taken as soon as possible following their ingestion. Increasing your dose beyond these amounts or in the wrong way could potentially be dangerous. With careful consideration of all the facts and medical advice, most men can enjoy the benefits of sildenafil (Viagra) for the rest of their lives, without risking adverse effects or injury.
