What is the difference between sildenafil 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg?
Sildenafil for erectile dysfunction comes in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg doses, with 50mg as the usual starting dose taken as needed about one hour before sex. The 25mg dose suits those needing a lower amount, such as if side effects occur with higher doses or due to health conditions, while 100mg is the strongest option prescribed if 50mg proves ineffective. Doctors adjust the dose based on effectiveness and tolerability, but no more than one tablet per day.
Key points:
- 50mg is the most common starting and prescribed dose for erectile dysfunction.
- 25mg is used if higher doses cause side effects or for certain health conditions.
- 100mg provides stronger effects for severe cases but increases side effect risk.
- Dose choice depends on response, with adjustments up or down as needed.
