GETTING THE BEST PERFORMANCE FROM VIAGRA
   

Some important points to remember when taking Viagra:
  • Viagra works only when you're sexually stimulated.
  • Viagra will be at its highest concentration at one hour after taking Viagra. So take this into account, particularly in the initial stages of using Viagra.
  • You can take Viagra with or without food, but it is best to avoid fatty meals and excessive amounts of alcohol (two standard drinks) as these can reduce Viagra's effectiveness.

Getting the most out of Viagra

  • For most men, Viagra works the first or second time they try it. In some cases it may work better on the third or fourth occasion, so it is important to keep trying. It can take time for confidence to grow, so you may want to consider experimenting with Viagra on your own. Please remember that Viagra should be taken only once a day, when required
  • Your doctor can vary your dosage of Viagra. If you are not satisfied with the firmness of your erection or if you feel any discomfort speak to your doctor about changing your dose.


Preparing mind and body

  • It is perfectly normal to feel some form of apprehension particularly the first time you take Viagra. It is perfectly normal to feel awkward, anxious or nervous. However, these feelings can interfere with your capacity to gain an erection. So it is important to try and relax as much as possible and concentrate on pleasure, not performance.
  • Partners should actively participate in lovemaking and provide sexual stimulation to help you relax and become aroused.
  • To obtain the firmest erection possible, direct stimulation of the penis is recommended.

For most men viagra works the first or second time!
