VIAGRA CONNECT is indicated in adult men with erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In order for VIAGRA CONNECT to be effective, sexual stimulation is required.
VIAGRA CONNECT can start to work in as little as 25 minutes. Customers who favour fast onset of action may benefit from using VIAGRA CONNECT as no pill works faster for ED
VIAGRA CONNECT is effective up to 4 hours after administration
VIAGRA CONNECT is suitable for daily use, if required
The recommended dose is one 50mg tablet taken with water approximately one hour before sexual activity. If VIAGRA CONNECT is taken with food, the onset of activity may be delayed compared to the fasted state.
Patients should be advised that they may need to take VIAGRA CONNECT a number of times on different occasions (a maximum of one 50mg tablet per day), before they can achieve a penile erection satisfactory for sexual activity. If after several attempts on different dosing occasions patients are still not able to achieve a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity, they should be advised to consult a doctor.
The maximum recommended dose frequency is once per day.
