Viagra Super Active dosage guide: how much to take and when
Choosing the right dose of Viagra Super Active (Sildenafil Citrate) is the most important practical decision after starting therapy. Viagra Super Active is supplied as soft gelatin capsule 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 Viagra Super Active 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. The active sildenafil citrate inhibits PDE5 in penile tissue during sexual arousal, allowing cyclic GMP to accumulate, smooth muscle to relax and blood inflow to increase. 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.

Can I take a higher dose of Viagra Super Active if it isn't working? ▾
