Detailed Guide on Sildenafil 150mg and 200mg by Urology Specialty Group
How to choose a dose?
If a man is in doubt, he should first go to a doctor, cardiologist, sexologist, or urologist and ask if these pills apply to their individual case. Viagra should not be taken as desired and uncontrollably. There are different doses of Viagra, just like there are different people. Some weigh 130 pounds, while others can weigh over 200 pounds. Moreover, there are different levels and causes of erectile issues as well as individual reactions to the treatment.
The most common dosages sold in pharmacies are 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. However, you can also find Viagra sold in larger dosages of 150mg and 200mg. It is recommended to start with an average dosage of 50 mg. In the event that the effect exceeds all expectations, then the next time you can reduce the dosage
If you want to calculate the appropriate dose for you, start with a 25 mg minimum and keep on increasing the dosage until you get the desired effect. Remember that regardless of the dose, you should take a tablet strictly once per 24 hours.
The amount of sildenafil in the strongest dosage of the branded Viagra is 100 mg. Patients under 65 who don’t have any severe chronic health conditions can take it.
The amount of Sildenafil for generic Viagra goes up to 200 mg. The higher sildenafil concentration is the stronger and longer-lasting effect you’ll get. However, sildenafil should not be taken in doses greater than 100 mg per day (that’s a standard doctor’s recommendation).
Bigger doses undoubtedly have bigger effects and are preferred by those who want to try new emotions and sexual activities.
How long does the Viagra work?
Viagra begins to act within 30 minutes after being swallowed and remains in the body for four and sometimes up to five hours. During half-life, it is fully active (2-3 hours after ingestion). The metabolism of the drug is simple. The substance is completely excreted by the kidneys and liver without negative consequences for the body. It does not accumulate in the body and does not lead to problems in the long run.
It should be noted that if you take a 200mg dosage instead of the prescribed 50mg tablet, the effect will not be stronger or longer. You will simply put yourself at more risk of experiencing side effects and other negative consequences.
What Effects Do High Dosages Cause?
The mechanism of action is the same regardless of the dose. The main ingredient is Sildenafil citrate, which is a very powerful phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.
Viagra for men and comparable ED medications like Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) relax the muscles and arteries in the penis and lower parts of the body, allowing more blood to enter the penis.
Remember that Viagra will not make you aroused! You should be sexually aroused and stimulated — the erection will not appear on its own. If Viagra does not work for you, you should urgently see your doctor.
You are young. If you don’t experience any chronic health conditions, and if you’re young, you can start with more powerful doses. A 65-years-old man should not risk his health and has to start with 25 mg dose maximum.
You’ve developed tolerance to lower doses of Viagra. Viagra tolerance occurs when the body demonstrates decreased response to the drug, requiring higher doses or more frequent administration to get the desired effect. Viagra tolerance develops because of the following reasons:
- Regularity. Regular intake of the drug makes the body accustomed to Viagra, decreasing its effectiveness.
- Age. As men age, they might need to take more Viagra to attain the results they want. It is explained by lower metabolic rate.
- Medical conditions. Particular health conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, may negatively affect the way the medication works.
- Drug interactions. Some medicines can reduce the effectiveness of Viagra or increase the risk of side effects.
You want to save money. Viagra 150mg and 200mg is generic, which means that it will cost cheaper. This tablet contains the same ingredients but it is produced over-the-border. Putting it shortly, it’s a copy of the original brand medication but it is released in a wider range of dose options. Of course, doctors do not recommend splitting the pill in halves, but most patients say it works.
You need it one time only. Everything depends on the situation. If you want to have more confidence in yourself before you go on a date with a sequel, having a Viagra pill will work. Just make sure you don’t have any underlying health conditions to stay safe and sound.
Everything should be done in line with the recommendations of your doctor. Nevertheless, the instruction includes the following:
- Take a pill half an hour before you’re planning to have sex;
- Take a pill with or without food;
- Take a pill with a full glass of water;
- Reduce alcohol consumption;
- Reduce fatty foods not to spoil the effect of the pill;
- Don’t eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice if you take Viagra, regardless of the dose.
When does Viagra not work?
It is known that erectile dysfunction in men occurs for various reasons. Viagra exists to eliminate sluggish erection caused by vascular origins. This means that for men with a normal release of nitric oxide and a persistent erection outside of sexual intercourse (for example, during masturbation), these miracle pills will not help. After all, there are psychological and other medical reasons behind the issue. Moreover, the instructions clearly state that the pill works only with sexual arousal.
Who is contraindicated to use Viagra 100mg, 150mg, and 200mg tablets?
Before buying Viagra, you need to consult a doctor to find out the causes of erection disorders, as well as possible contraindications to its use. This medication, especially in doses that exceed 100mg, should not be taken in the following cases:
- with severe diseases of blood vessels, liver, and heart;
- while taking organic nitrate and other drugs that are prescribed for the erection issues;
- with optic neuropathy;
- with genetically determined retinitis pigmentosa;
- with lactase deficiency and lactose intolerance.
Your doctor will let you know if any of your health issues should raise caution when it comes to this medication. Taking the drug is otherwise safe if you follow the instructions and consult with your doctor first. All medications taken on a regular basis must be reported. A number of drugs are incompatible with Viagra.
Side Effects
Most patients don’t seem to be concerned about potential side effects when taking Viagra. Unfortunately, the higher the dose is, the more chances you get to experience side effects, even if you’ve never experienced them before when taking Sildenafil. It’s crucial to realize that a bigger dose of Viagra will almost surely result in all typical negative effects, as it happens with standard doses.
IMPORTANT! If the regularly prescribed dose does not result in negative effects, a higher dose is likely to have severe side effects.
Among the side affects you might experience with high Viagra doses are:
- Headache;
- Dizziness;
- Sleep problems;
- Vomiting;
- Nausea;
- Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet;
- Unstable heart beat;
- Heart stroke.
NEVER take Viagra 150mg and 200mg if you know that you have cardiovascular diseases. In this case, only your doctor is the one who can plan your therapy.
However, you should be careful and responsible for what you do to gain maximal response and avoid intolerable adverse effects. Discuss the issue with your doctor first.
IMPORTANT! Taking too much Viagra can result in an abrupt drop in blood pressure and fainting. Make cautious not to exceed the dosage that was recommended by your doctor. Get emergency medical help right away if you’ve taken more than the recommended dosage.
Why does Viagra not cure erectile dysfunction?
It is important to understand that Viagra is a pharmacological helping hand. It does not understand the causes of erectile dysfunction in a man but simply allows you to pump blood into the penis and achieve an erection at the right time. After a few hours, the effect of the drug wears off and the problems return.
