When to Consult a Doctor About Dosage

Always talk to your doctor before starting Viagra or changing your dosage. This is especially crucial if you have underlying health conditions.

Seek immediate medical advice if you experience chest pain, dizziness, or prolonged erection (priapism) after taking Viagra. These are serious side effects requiring prompt attention.

Adjustments might be needed if you’re taking other medications. Nitrate-containing drugs and some heart medications interact negatively with Viagra. Your doctor will assess any potential drug interactions.

Dosage changes may be necessary based on your age and liver or kidney function. Older adults or those with impaired organ function might require a lower dose to minimize side effects.

If your erectile dysfunction symptoms persist despite using Viagra as prescribed, consult your doctor to explore alternative treatments or underlying causes.
