This page lists an as-needed Sildenafil 50 mg tablet. The typical directions are to take one tablet 30–60 minutes before sexual activity, with a maximum of one tablet per day. Your prescribing physician’s instructions and the pharmacy label take priority over general directions on this page.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether sildenafil is appropriate and what dose to prescribe. Tell them about your health conditions, all medicines you take, and any past problems with erectile dysfunction treatments. Kidney or liver problems and certain drug interactions may call for different instructions.
Do not take extra tablets if the first dose does not help. Results vary. Do not split tablets or combine them with another erection medicine unless your physician specifically tells you to do so.
If the prescription label differs from what you expected, ask the pharmacy or prescribing physician before taking it. If you take more than prescribed, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. Call 911 for severe symptoms such as chest pain or fainting.
