Female Viagra dosage guide: how much to take and when
Choosing the right dose of Female Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate) is the most important practical decision after starting therapy. Female Viagra is supplied as tablet in 100mg, and the right dose for a given person depends on the indication, age, comorbidities and tolerance to the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate.
Starting dose and titration
According to the prescribing information, most adults begin Female Viagra at the lowest available strength of 100mg and titrate up only if symptom control is insufficient and tolerability is good. Higher doses are reserved for selected cases. Older adults, people with renal or hepatic impairment, and those taking interacting medications should usually start at the lowest dose.
When to adjust
Dose adjustment is guided by symptom response and side effect burden, not by arbitrary schedules. Sildenafil citrate inhibits PDE5, allowing cGMP to accumulate in vascular smooth muscle and increasing local blood flow during arousal. If side effects are limiting at a given dose, going down a step is usually preferred over stopping abruptly. If the response is incomplete after several weeks, a higher dose can be tried under medical supervision.
