Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The prescribed dose depends on your individual needs and health status. A common starting dose is 20mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity.
Liquid sildenafil offers flexibility in dosing. Your doctor will determine the appropriate concentration and volume for your needs. For instance, you might receive a 20mg/5ml solution, meaning each 5ml contains 20mg of sildenafil.
Here’s a guide to administering liquid sildenafil:
- Use the provided measuring device, such as a syringe or oral dosing cup, to accurately measure the prescribed dose. Never guess. Take the liquid sildenafil orally. You can take it with or without food, though taking it on an empty stomach may slightly speed up its absorption. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with sildenafil and potentially affect its effectiveness. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Taking more than prescribed does not enhance the effects but increases the risk of side effects.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. If you experience any serious side effects, such as chest pain or vision changes, seek immediate medical attention.
