When using Viagra, you should pay attention to the following seven: First, do not easily change the dosage. “Viagra is available in three different dosages of 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. Physicians use the initial dosage according to the patient’s condition and then find out the optimal dosage. If the patient is older than 65 years, or has serious liver or kidney disease, it is necessary to start with the lowest dose (25 mg). Blindly increasing the dose of the drug may incur greater adverse effects and is not helpful in strengthening sexual function; decreasing the dose of the drug may not be effective. The second is to take it about 1 hour before sexual intercourse. In a state of sexual arousal, Viagra can help you achieve an erection from 30 minutes to 4 hours after taking it.
