Drug Uses

Viagra Soft is an oral medication that helps males gain and sustain a stronger erection while performing sexual activity.

Usage

Viagra Soft should be taken as recommended by your doctor. The ideal starting dosage is 10mg only once a day. Take it half an hour before sexual activity. Keep it under your tongue until the soft pill dissolves completely.

Missed Dose

Take only before sexual activity. Do not take more than one dose a day.

Storage

Store it at room temperature and keep away from moisture.

Overdose

Seek medical attention immediately if you suspect an overdose.

More Information

Use with caution if you have cardiovascular disease, severe kidney or liver problems or an inherited retinal disorder. Do not consume alcohol along with the drug. Do not drive or handle heavy machinery until you know how to react to the drug. Do not take the drug if you are taking medications containing nitrates.

Warnings/Precautions

Do not take Viagra Soft Tabs, if you are taking any nitrate-based drug, including nitroglycerin patches (Nitro-Dur, Transderm-Nitro), nitroglycerin ointment (Nitro-Bid, Nitrol), nitroglycerin pills (Nitro-Bid, Nitrostat), and isosorbide pills (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate). Combining Viagra Soft Tabs with these drugs can cause a severe drop in blood pressure.

If you have heart problems severe enough to make sexual activity a danger, you should avoid using Viagra Soft Tabs. Use it cautiously if you've had a heart attack, stroke, or life-threatening heart irregularities within the past 6 months. Be equally cautious if you have severe high or low blood pressure, heart failure, or unstable angina.

If your taking Viagra Soft Tabs develops cardiac symptoms (for example, dizziness, nausea, and chest pain) during sexual activity, do not continue. Alert your doctor to the problem as soon as possible.

If you have a condition that might result in long-lasting erections, such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma (a disease of the bone marrow), or leukemia, use Viagra Soft Tabs with caution. Also use cautiously if you have a genital problem or deformity such as Peyronie's disease. If an erection lasts more than 4 hours, seek treatment immediately. Permanent damage and impotence could result.

If you have a bleeding disorder, a stomach ulcer, or the inherited eye condition known as retinitis pigmentosa, use Viagra Soft Tabs with caution. Its safety under these circumstances has not yet been studied.
