ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION QUESTION:
I am 59 year male under the BP medication of Lostran having ED problem. For the first time I want to use Viagra, should use 25 mg or 50 mg tablet.
Thanks,
Biswas
DOCTOR ALSAYES ANSWER:
Hi Biswas,
You should start with the minimum dose of Viagra (25 mg), if the effect was not noticeable, then you can try Viagra 50 mg the next time.
It is recommended to take the Viagra on an empty stomach or at least two hours after eating the last meal, and 1 hour before the intercourse.
It takes around 30-60 minutes for Viagra to make the effect, but this duration can be affected by food or alcohol. You should know that eating any meal before you take Viagra would cause it to make the effect more slowly. Also, fatty meals are the enemy of Viagra, they can make it harder for the medicine to reach the bloodstream.
So if you take Viagra right before the sexual activity it won’t work very well, also if you had some wine or just had dinner before taking the Viagra that will make it take more time to work so you see the results later on at night.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Dr. Alsayes
