What to Expect After Taking Viagra: Timeline of Effects

Typically, you’ll feel the effects of Viagra within 30 to 60 minutes. This timeframe can vary depending on individual factors like food intake and overall health.

Within this initial hour, many men experience an increased blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. The intensity and duration of this effect are also personalized.

The peak effect usually occurs between one and two hours after ingestion. During this period, responsiveness to sexual stimulation is heightened.

The effects gradually subside over the next four to five hours. Some men might experience a lingering effect for slightly longer, but the majority will return to their baseline within this window.

Remember that Viagra’s effectiveness depends on sexual stimulation. It doesn’t cause erections spontaneously.

If you experience any unexpected side effects, such as prolonged erection (priapism), seek immediate medical attention. This is a serious condition requiring prompt treatment.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use. They can provide personalized advice based on your health profile.
