Question: Can I split a 100mg Viagra tablet into smaller pieces without affecting its effectiveness or the duration of its action?
Responses (7):
- User 1: I wouldn’t recommend cutting Viagra tablets. Also, keep in mind those warnings about potential long-term injury—they are serious. Is your tablet 100mg or a different dosage?
- User 2: When you cut a tablet, you’re essentially taking a lower dose, so yes, it will be less effective because you are consuming less of the medication.
- User 3: Hi Carl, try to remove the word “performance” from this context. It’s somewhat outdated and puts unnecessary pressure on you. Remember, intimacy isn’t a competition. It’s about connection and mutual enjoyment, so try to relax.
- User 4: Hi Carl Raab. It’s best to consult your prescribing physician as everyone’s response to medication can vary. What works for one person may not work for another.
- User 5: I’ve been splitting my 100mg tablets for the last two years with great success. It’s worked better than I expected. Just take it easy and enjoy the experience.
- User 6: If you’re asking whether it’s okay to break it in half and then take both halves, that’s fine. However, it seems like taking a full tablet doesn’t help you much.
- User 7: Splitting the tablet does reduce the amount of active ingredient per dose, which could lessen its effectiveness.
Additional Clarification: It seems there’s some confusion here. The main concern isn’t about intimacy per se but about achieving and maintaining an erection, which is a specific physical aspect that Viagra addresses. Cutting a 100mg tablet into two 50mg pieces can actually speed up the release of the drug into your system because a smaller piece dissolves faster. This can be useful if you’re looking to time the drug’s effects more precisely with your activity. However, be cautious with doubling up on 50mg doses if you’ve split them, as the quicker release can cause side effects like stomach discomfort. Always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure you’re using the medication safely and effectively.
