What if you try the maximum dose of Viagra (100 mg) and it doesn't work for you. What should you do? Should you go above the maximum dose?
We get this question a lot. The first thing you should do, before even considering upping the dose, is to see what other steps you can take to make the drug more effective.
First thing to make sure of is that you have sufficient sexual stimulation. If you have no desire for sex, or have nothing to stimulate your interest in sex, Viagra alone won't do anything for you. It isn't like the old injection therapies for ED that produced instant erections; you need something to excite you for it to work.
Also, make sure you've given enough time for it to work. You probably should wait at least 30 minutes, and probably an hour, before attempting anything.
Most importantly, try it on an empty stomach and completely sober. Fatty foods and alcohol can hurt the drug's effectiveness.
If you try all of these things and still don't get any result, ask your doctor whether a higher dose might be appropriate. The higher the dose, the more likely you are to experience side effects, so we strongly recommend not going above 100mg without a doctor's supervision.
Another option would be to try Levitra or Cialis. These drugs work better for some men. However, never mix medications. You should never take Viagra and Levitra within the same 24 hours, and you should give Cialis several days to leave your system before taking Viagra or Levitra.
