Is it Okay to take Multiple Viagra Tablets in a day or at Once?
Viagra (one of the branded versions of Sildenafil citrate) is one of the most popular FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs available in the market to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence in men. To date, this medication has helped numerous men across the world with various issues; including sexual problems, especially in achieving and maintaining a strong penile erection; in a relatively safe and well-tolerated way, when used under the guidance of an authorized healthcare expert.
However, some users wonder if they can up the dose on their own to try and extract even more benefits. When Viagra is used in this manner of doubling doses or taking extra doses in a day without consulting with a doctor first, it can lead to unwanted and potentially dangerous adverse effects.
How much Viagra can you take in a day & How much Viagra is too much?Â
Usually, Viagra (Sildenafil) tablets or pills are available in different dosage powers like 5 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. Viagra (Sildenafil) is not to be used more than once in a single day. This obviously means that if you used it earlier in the day, you cannot pop another one later that evening.Â
- The recommended starting dose strength of Viagra (Sildenafil) for ED symptoms in men is about 5 mg or 20 mg. It can be taken about 30 to 60 minutes before the sexual act.Â
- Viagra (Sildenafil) tablets for pulmonary hypertension come in 10 mg and 20 mg strengths.Â
Based upon its effectiveness and tolerability, the dose can be increased or decreased; but as per a doctor’s guidance.Â
Now, trying an additional pill of Viagra on some days may be appealing to very active couples since Viagra (Sildenafil) tends to work for only about 3 to 4 hours after its ingestion. But this only increases the risk of adverse side effects and can be dangerous.Â
The power of 100 mg is considered to be a much high dose power/strength for addressing  ED symptoms. Hence, one should never take more than one 100 mg tablet within a span of 24 hours. Viagra 100 mg(Sildenafil) is a very much safe power/ tablet strength one can take, and that too only on a doctor’s prescription. Â
- However, even if this dose power/strength is turning out to be ineffective, and one feels that even the highest dose strength is not strong enough for him, one should ideally consult a doctor and try to find other options in ED treatment. The best way to go about such a situation is to speak with his doctor without any delay or hesitation and try to figure out alternating treatment therapies.Â
- Or, he may also ask his doctor to look for other alternatives to Viagra. The doctor may be able to review your information, current health, and response in order to see if a dose adjustment is appropriate.Â
- Again, if one feels that he needs an ED medication that lasts all day, he can simply ask his doctor about similar other medicines like Cialis (Tadalafil), which can last much longer. Switching to the genetic Tadalafil or any of its branded versions like Cialis or Vidalista tablets, may be a great option as their effect lasts for a much longer period, without putting one at higher risk for side effects by using Viagra (Sildenafil) incorrectly.
What happens if you take 2 Viagra pills in 24 hours?
