How long does sildenafil last?
Sildenafil typically lasts for 4 to 6 hours, during which it can help with erections when sexually aroused. The effects are strongest in the first 2 hours and gradually fade after that. Some men may still notice benefits up to 10-12 hours, though weaker, with the drug fully clearing the body in about 24 hours.
Key points:
- Effects peak between 30 minutes and 2 hours after taking.
- Duration varies by person due to factors like dose, food, age, and health.
- It requires sexual stimulation to work and does not cause continuous erections.
- Seek medical help for erections lasting over 4 hours.
