PRICE TABLE

Viagra is a popular erectile dysfunction (ED) tablet, taken by men who find it hard to get an erection on their own. It is the generic version of Viagra, which means it contains exactly the same active ingredient (Viagra citrate).

Viagra is available in three different dosages: 25mg, 150mg and 150mg. If you are considering taking Viagra for your impotence, but you aren’t sure which dosage is right for you, read on.

Getting treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is a condition that affects the majority of men at some point during their lives. It is associated with ageing and is more common in older men, but it can also be a symptom of an underlying condition such as depression, heart disease or diabetes. If you are having trouble getting erections, it’s important to consult a doctor, as it could be a sign of a serious health issue.

If your doctor believes treatment is appropriate, they can prescribe a tablet such as Viagra, which – as we have seen – comes in three different dosages, the two most popular being Viagra 150mg and Viagra 150mg.

Taking Viagra 150mg
The most commonly prescribed Viagra dosage is 150mg. If you are using Viagra for the first time, it is very likely that you will be prescribed this dosage.

You should use Viagra 150mg in the following way:

Take only one tablet at a time
Take the tablet one hour before you plan to have sex
Do not eat a heavy meal beforehand
Do not drink more than one or two units of alcohol beforehand
Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours
Bear in mind that Viagra, and all other ED tablets, will only work if you become sexually aroused; it is not, in itself, an ‘aphrodisiac’. When successful the effects of Viagra 150mg should last for 4 to 6 hours; during this time, you should be able to attain an erection whenever you become sexually aroused.

Viagra 150mg didn’t work for me. What should I do?
In controlled studies, Viagra 150mg was found to be effective in 74% of men with erectile dysfunction.[i] As such, it’s likely that you will experience success with this treatment.

If, however, you find that Viagra 150mg does not work for you the first time you take it, there are a few things you can do:

Try Viagra on seven more occasions, making sure you take it exactly as recommended (doctors recommended trying ED tablets eight times before upping the dosage or changing to another treatment)
If you are still having no success, talk to the doctor who prescribed you about switching to Viagra 150mg
Consider trying a different ED tablet such as Cialis
You should never alter the dosage of your Viagra without talking to your doctor.

Taking Viagra 150mg
It may be that your doctor initially prescribes you Viagra 150mg, however it is more common to start on the 150mg dosage and work up to 150mg if you have no success.

Viagra 150mg should be taken in exactly the same way as the smaller dosage tablet: one hour before sex, and on a relatively empty stomach. There is not a great deal of difference between Viagra 150mg and 150mg, although in clinical trials, the higher dosage was seen to be 82% effective, as opposed to 74% effective.

The effects of Viagra 150mg do not last longer than the 150mg dosage, but they tend to be stronger. This means that side effects can be more pronounced as well. Side effects associated with Viagra include headache, facial flushing, nausea, dizziness and stuffy nose. They will not affect everyone but, as previously stated, they are more likely when you are taking Viagra 150mg.

Viagra 150mg didn’t work for me. What should I do?
If you have found Viagra 150mg to be ineffective, you should talk to your prescribing doctor. They will probably encourage you to try it a few more times before you move onto something else.

Because 150mg is the highest dose available, you should never ‘double up’ on tablets or take more than one in 24 hours. Viagra 150mg is the highest safe dosage you can take – if it is ineffective, you should try another ED treatment.

Alternative treatments for ED include tablets such as Cialis and Spedra, which contain different active ingredients but have a similar effect to Viagra. In some cases, if the root of your impotence is psychological, counselling may be helpful. ED caused by physical injury or an underlying condition, meanwhile, may improve with focused treatment, or lifestyle changes such as weight loss and exercise.
