The dose is then increased or decreased based on the effects it has on you. For pulmonary hypertension, the initial dose is much lower (10 to 20mg) and can be adjusted as needed.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As with any other medication, you must stick to the dosing your doctor recommends. Adjusting the dose by yourself may lead to an overdose which may pose more problems for you. So how much Viagra is too much for you?

It is dangerous to take more than the recommended dose of sildenafil. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcjournals.org\/pdfs\/ajfs\/v4-i1\/3.pdf\">overdose<\/a> can worsen side effects. This may cause problems in your body such as heart failure, stroke, and even death in worse cases.

This is the highest dose at which you get safe and effective results. Once you exceed this dose, you may experience side effects which can be fatal. The recommended maximum dose for Viagra is 100mg. It is not advisable to go beyond this without speaking to your doctor first. Do not take more than 100mg within 24 hours. The more of it you use, the higher your chances of getting adverse effects. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4623654\/\">case study<\/a> of a patient who had ED showed that a sildenafil overdose can have negative effects.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-signs-of-a-viagra-overdose\"><strong>Signs of a Viagra overdose<\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Taking more than the recommended dose of Viagra may precipitate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/viagra-side-effects\/\">side effects<\/a> like;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>\u00a0Headache<\/strong><\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/does-viagra-make-you-last-longer\/\">Headache<\/a> is one of the most common adverse effects people face when they take Viagra. If you take too much of it, you are more likely to get a headache. Viagra changes in blood flow in your body leading to a headache.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hypotension (drop in your blood pressure)<\/strong><\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Sildenafil belongs to a class of drugs known as the phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5). PDE5 is an enzyme (protein) found in the muscles of the penis. Sildenafil works by blocking the effect of this enzyme. It causes the blood vessels in your body to dilate which can cause your blood pressure to decrease. If you have hypotension, you may feel weak, dizzy, or lightheaded. If you already have hypotension, taking Viagra may worsen your condition. Also, if you take high blood pressure drugs, your blood pressure may drop further with Sildenafil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Consult your doctor before you use Sildenafil. Especially if you have heart issues or you are using some medications. You may also experience orthostatic hypotension. It is a decrease in your blood pressure when you change position from standing or sitting.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Priapism<\/strong><\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/spl\/data\/ecc320e0-b8a2-46f9-b605-c1bc426ca941\/ecc320e0-b8a2-46f9-b605-c1bc426ca941.xml#LINK_991dde5d-89fe-4e27-9e77-6d539ece4692\">Priapism<\/a> is a persistent and painful erection that lasts for over four hours. Overdose of Viagra may lead to sustained erections. You will need immediate medical attention. Priapism can cause permanent damage to the penis if not treated early. This can lead to erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Flushing of the skin<\/strong><\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Viagra causes widening of the blood vessels on the penis and on the surface of the skin.

Instead, speak with your doctor who may adjust the dose for you depending on your situation.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>You should not take more than the recommended dose of Viagra within 24 hours. Too much Viagra can cause headaches and other severe symptoms that could be fatal. The effects of Viagra can last for some hours. If you take too much Viagra, it will take more time for your body to get rid of the drug. How fast your body clears it will depend on the dosage you take. Talk to a doctor as soon as possible if you have taken more than 100mg in 24 hours. It is not advisable to take Viagra without speaking to your doctor first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-avoid-a-viagra-overdose\"><strong>How to avoid a Viagra overdose<\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>See a doctor first.

If you experience priapism, you should seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Some healthy people (who do not have ED) use Viagra for fun to improve their performance in bed.
