Based on toleration and effectiveness, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is one pill per day. If you do not get the results that you expect, consult your doctor about this. Only you and your doctor can determine the optimal dose. Do not take more Viagra pills than your doctor prescribes. If you think you need a larger dose of Viagra, check with your doctor. Viagra should not be taken more than once a day. Viagra is used as needed, that means you don’t have to take viagra every day, you take viagra only when you plan to have sex.
