How to take viagra safely

Assuming you are of average weight and size, and in reasonably good health, you will normally be advised to take 50mg about one hour before you expect sexual activity. Viagra is not designed to be taken on a regular basis. It is a once-daily drug that is taken as and when required. Once taken, it usually allows up to four hours of responsiveness. The effect will be delayed if you take the drug on top of a heavy meal with a high fat content. It is also not advisable to drink too much alcohol. This may cause your blood pressure to drop.

You should take a lower dose if you are older or you have kidney or liver problems. Should you have recently suffered a stroke or heart attack, you should have a medical check-up before exerting yourself in sexual activity.

Finally, remember that viagra has no magic properties. No matter what urban legends you may hear, unprotected sexual intercourse exposes you to the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. If you wish to avoid infection (or parenthood) you should always use a condom.
