Dosage, Effectiveness and Safety Information

What is sildenafil 100mg?

Sildenafil 100mg is a higher-strength dose of sildenafil used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It contains the same active ingredient as Viagra and helps improve blood flow to support erections when sexually stimulated.

This strength may be considered when lower doses are not sufficiently effective and when deemed appropriate following a professional consultation.

When is sildenafil 100mg prescribed?

Sildenafil 100mg may be prescribed for individuals who:

• Have used lower doses without sufficient effect
• Have been assessed as suitable for a higher dose
• Require stronger support for erectile dysfunction

It is not always the first starting dose and should only be taken when recommended by a healthcare professional.

A consultation helps determine the most appropriate strength and overall erectile dysfunction treatment plan.

How effective is sildenafil 100mg?

Sildenafil 100mg is considered the maximum recommended dose for most patients. For individuals who do not respond sufficiently to lower strengths, it may provide improved effectiveness.

Like all doses of sildenafil, it supports the body's natural response to sexual stimulation and does not cause an automatic erection.
