While the time it takes to work may vary from person to person, it usually starts acting within 30 minutes to an hour. This medicine works only when there is sexual stimulation. Do not exceed the recommended dose of one tablet in 24 hours.

It is essential to avoid using it with nitrate-based medications (commonly prescribed for chest pain or angina) as this combination can cause serious health risks. Additionally, do not use Viagra 50mg Tablet if you have severe heart or liver conditions, have recently experienced a heart attack or stroke, or have very low blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about your medical history before starting this medication.
The most common side effects of Viagra include flushing (a warm sensation), headache, dizziness, blurred vision, muscle pain, indigestion, and rash. If these effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor for advice. They may adjust your dosage or suggest an alternative treatment. Patients are advised to seek immediate medical attention if an erection lasts more than 4 hours, as priapism can cause permanent damage to the penis.

Warning & Precautions
Pregnancy
Viagra Tablet is not recommended for use in women, as sildenafil in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg doses is primarily indicated for the management of erectile dysfunction. Although sildenafil has shown benefits in reducing pulmonary hypertension, its use in pregnant women should be avoided unless deemed absolutely necessary, as there is insufficient clinical data on its safety during pregnancy. Animal studies have not demonstrated significant adverse effects on fetal development. Therefore, if you are prescribed sildenafil, it is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Breastfeeding
Limited data shows that sildenafil and its active metabolite are excreted into breast milk at very low levels, with no clear information on its impact on milk production.
While expert opinions suggest the amount ingested by a breastfeeding infant is unlikely to cause harm, healthcare providers should assess the mother’s need for the drug and any potential risks to the infant.

Do not drive or operate any machines if you experience dizziness or blurred vision after taking Viagra.
Alcohol
Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking Viagra, as it could reduce the effectiveness of this medicine.
