Although there are other options for treating erection problems, including vacuum pumps and Vitaros cream, ED tablets like Viagra are the most popular treatment.When you discuss ED medication with your doctor or pharmacist, they'll choose a dose for you that's safe and effective. They'll also tell you how - and when - to take it. Every patient is different with their unique build, medical history and/or other medications, so it's really important to stick to the dose that's been recommended for you, even if someone else you know is having the same treatment in a different dose.Standard doses for ED tabletsThe first thing to know is that there are few different types of ED tablet, and all of them have different standard doses.Most types are designed to be taken as and when you need them, around 30-60 minutes before you have sex, which means there’s usually some “planning” involved!Viagra/SildenafilViagra has a standard recommended dose of 50 milligrams (mg).
