What if I miss a dose of as-needed Sildenafil 50 mg?
Short answer
As-needed Sildenafil does not have a daily schedule, so there is usually no missed dose to replace. Take it only when needed, as your physician and pharmacy label direct. Never double up or take more than prescribed because you forgot to take a tablet before planned sexual activity.
This Sildenafil 50 mg product is used as needed rather than on a fixed daily schedule. If you do not take it before planned sexual activity, you do not need to make up that dose later. Follow the prescribing physician’s instructions and the pharmacy label.
If you still plan to use it, follow the prescribed timing instead of taking extra tablets. This page lists typical directions of one tablet 30–60 minutes before activity, with a maximum of one tablet per day. Do not shorten the time between doses or take two tablets together to catch up.
If you cannot remember whether you already took a tablet, do not take another until you have checked with a pharmacist or your physician. Keeping a simple record of when you take it can help you avoid an accidental extra dose.
These directions apply to this as-needed product for erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil prescribed for another condition may have a different schedule. Do not use these instructions to change another prescription.
