How long does it take for Viagra to work?
Viagra typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to start working, with a median time of 27 minutes for most men. Some men may experience effects as quickly as 12 minutes, while others may need up to an hour. The medication reaches peak concentration in your blood after about one hour, and you should take it at least one hour before sexual activity for best results.
Key points:
- Heavy meals and alcohol can delay how quickly Viagra takes effect
- Sexual arousal is necessary for the medication to work
- Effects typically last between 4 to 6 hours
- Individual factors like diet, alcohol consumption, and physiology affect how quickly it works
