What dosage of Viagra should I take?

VIAGRA comes in different doses (25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg).

Like many medications, your health care provider may have to adjust your initial VIAGRA dose if it doesn't produce the desired results or you're bothered by side effects.

Do not take more VIAGRA than your health care provider prescribes, (usually 50 mg), and do not take VIAGRA more than once a day.

If you are older than 65 years, have a serious liver or kidney problem, or are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your health care provider may start you at the lowest (25 mg) dose of VIAGRA.

The price of a single 100mg pill is much cheaper than two 50mg pills. Can I cut my pills in half to save money?

True, the per-tablet prices are very similar, regardless of the strength of the tablets.

Says Pfizer, "VIAGRA pills are not designed to be cut in half, so there is no way to know if half a pill is effective. Cutting pills in half is not recommended."

However, many Internet Pharmacy sites derive their "per dose" price by taking a 100mg pill and splitting it into two halves, which is much more cost effective. You be the judge!

How long does it take for Viagra to start working?

Take VIAGRA about 1 hour before engaging in sexual activity.

For most patients, beginning in about 30 minutes and lasting up to 4 hours, VIAGRA can help you get an erection if you are sexually excited.
