Advice for those considering using ED tablets on prescription for the first time.
Using ED tablets for the first time
Trial of therapy advice
Start with a low dose, and try medication repeatedly at a low dose to start with.
Find a tablet that works well and take the lowest dose which is effective.
Men who are prone to low blood pressure may feel lightheaded or dizzy after taking medication. This is rare. A few hours after taking a tablet for the first time, as a precaution, avoid situations where it is not possilbe to sit or lie down.Viagra
There are three strengths of Viagra tablets: 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. Most men should start with 50mg tablets.
If 50mg tablets do not work after trying them four times, and they are not causing side effects, the dose should be increased to 100mg. The maximum should be tried on eight separate occasions before deciding it is not effective.
Viagra needs to be taken at least 45 minutes and preferably one hour before sex. Sexual stimulation is necessary for an erection.
Consultation ProcessCialis
Cialis comes in four strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg.
The usual starting dose of Cilais is one 10mg tablet taken between 30 minutes and 12 hours before it is needed. This can be increased to a maximum of 20mg as a single dose or reduced to 5mg in response to treatment.
Cialis will continue to work for up to 24 hours. It should not be taken more than once a day or more than twice a week. (See below "Low dose Cialis")
Cialis should be tried on numerous separate occasions before deciding it is ineffective. Direct sexual stimulation of the penis is required for an erection. The effectiveness of Cialis is not altered by food.
Low dose Cialis
Men who need Cialis more than twice a week should take a daily tablet of 2.5mg or 5mg. This will be effective and will prevent too much Cialis building up in the body.
Levitra
There are three strengths of Levitra: 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. Most men should start with a single 10mg tablet.
If 10mg is ineffective the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20mg. If 10mg causes side effects the dose should be decreased to 5mg.
Levitra should be taken about 25 minutes to one hour before attempting intercourse. It can be taken with or without food. Its effect may be delayed if taken with meals high in fat.
It should be tried on multiple separate occasions before deciding it is ineffective. Levitra will not work unless arousal is present.
