How Much Time Does it Take for Viagra to Have an Effect?

Viagra Question

How long does it take for Viagra to take effect?

Answer

The little blue pill usually takes effect 30 to 60 minutes after you pop it. For the vast majority of users, the average time before the onset of effects is 30 minutes, although some may find they have to wait a bit longer for Viagra’s effects to kick in.

For some men, Viagra’s effects last for up to five hours, but the average duration of effect is more like three to four hours. The recommended starting dose for Viagra is a 50-milligram tablet, which works for the vast majority of men. However, if the 50-milligram tablet doesn’t get the job done, you can increase your dose to 100 milligrams.

In the unlikely event that the 50-milligram tablet is more than you need, you can lower your dose to 25 milligrams to see if that works for you.
