The right Viagra dose for perfect sex

Posted under General Health

For most men who use Viagra, it works effectively with no complaints. But that is only when you take the right dosage. Finding the right dosage of a medicine can be a bit tricky – you need to get it accurately. Viagra’s availability on prescription makes it a relatively safer bet for people seeking impotence treatment.

Dosage to be decided by doctor only
Viagra comes in 3 standard doses – 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. Doctors usually recommend the 50mg dose as a starter. Depending on the progress the dosage can be switched to a lower or higher capacity. If you do not get the hardness you want with the starting dose, talk to your doctor. It is observed that men who do not get a firm erection with the 50mg dose do better with the 100mg Viagra dosage.

Each man is different, so dosing options may vary from one man to another. The right Viagra dosage depends on several factors, including your existing health condition, your medical history and whether or not you are currently under any other anti-ED therapy.

Erection hardness test
Taking an erection test is a good idea to know if Viagra is working, or if you should tell your doctor to change the prescribed dosage. The test is no rocket science. You just need to measure the hardness of your penis on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 being the most satisfactory result.

Score 1 – Penis length increases with sexual arousal, but you do not get any hardness.
Score 2 – Your penis is long and hard, but you can still bend the penis, implying it is not hard enough for penetration.
Score 3 – You have a long and hard penis, but its hardness can still improve.
Score 4 – Your penis is fully stretched and rigid.

A score of 4 is what you want. So anything below the mark should motivate you to talk to your doctor and ask for a review of the current dosage.

Age is a factor
Viagra dosage also depends on age. If you are over 65, your doctor may suggest the lowest dosing option. The 25mg dosage is also recommended for men who have kidney or liver problems. But do not feel let down because even the lowest dose can rev up your passion in bed.
