Consult your doctor before taking any medication, including Viagra. A 150mg dose is significantly higher than the standard starting dose and may not be appropriate for everyone.
Dosage and Efficacy
The standard Viagra dose is typically 50mg. Doses can range from 25mg to 100mg, adjusted based on individual response and tolerance. A 150mg dose is generally only considered if lower doses prove ineffective. Higher doses don’t necessarily mean better results and can increase the risk of side effects. Efficacy depends on many factors including overall health and the specific cause of erectile dysfunction.
- Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage. Don’t exceed the recommended dose without medical supervision. Consider factors like age, other health conditions, and medications when discussing dosage with your physician.
Potential Side Effects
Higher doses of Viagra increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Less common, but potentially serious side effects, include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and hearing loss. These require immediate medical attention.
