About Viagra Connect
-
-
Always take Viagra Connect as your doctor or pharmacist has prescribed it. Take 1 tablet, about 1 hour before you want to have sex. It can be taken up to 4 hours before sex, but the effectiveness may decrease over time.
Swallow your tablet whole, with some water. You don’t need to eat anything with your dose, but you can choose to have something light if you find this reduces side effects such as nausea (feeling sick). Avoid heavy meals before taking Viagra Connect – this can increase the time it takes to work.
Viagra Connect can only help you to get an erection if you’re also sexually stimulated. It usually starts to work within 30-60 minutes, but each person is slightly different. Never take Viagra Connect more than once a day, even if it didn’t work the first time.
