Begin with the recommended 10mg dose. Take it with a glass of water, approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. This allows sufficient time for the medication to take effect.
Adjusting Your Dosage
If 10mg proves insufficient, your doctor may increase the dose to 20mg. However, do not exceed 40mg without explicit medical guidance. Higher doses increase the risk of side effects.
Conversely, if you experience significant side effects at 10mg, reduce the dose to 5mg, or consult your doctor for alternative options. Regularly scheduled medical check-ups are advisable to monitor your response to the medication and ensure optimal dosage.
Avoid alcohol and grapefruit, as these can interfere with the medication’s metabolism and potentially increase side effects. Maintain open communication with your physician for any questions or concerns.
