Always follow your doctor’s prescription. The typical starting dose of Cipla’s generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is 50 mg taken orally as needed, about 1 hour before sexual activity. This dose may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg based on individual response and tolerance. Never exceed 100 mg in a 24-hour period.
Taking the Medication
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid consuming grapefruit juice, as it can interfere with the medication’s metabolism. The medication’s effect can be influenced by food, so consistent timing regarding meals is advisable. Discuss any potential drug interactions with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cipla’s generic Viagra, especially if you’re using nitrates or alpha-blockers.
Important Considerations
Cipla’s generic Viagra is for treating erectile dysfunction in adult males. It doesn’t increase libido. The medication doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections. Side effects can include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a prolonged erection (priapism) or sudden vision changes.
