The recommendeddose of Viagra is 50 mg taken, as needed, approximately 30 to 60
minutes before intercourse. But

half before the love making. Based on the effectiveness and side effects of the
medication, the dose may be increased to 100 mg
or decreased to 25 mg.

higher doses is extremely discouraged and sometimes maybe harmful to one’s
health if taken than those prescribed by the doctor
The
maximum recommended dose is 100 mg and it is not recommended to take more than
one dose per day. Viagra may be taken with or without food, but taking it with
a high-fat meal may increase the time before the medication starts working.
Many
things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body
weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If the doctor has recommended a
dose different from the ones listed, it is always advisable not to change Viagra is taken without
consulting the doctor.

toilet) or in household garbage. Ask the pharmacist how to dispose the
medicines that are no longer needed or have expired.
Tramadol - The
Proper Way
Take this medication as directed by your doctor, usually by
mouth. More often than not, every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief.
Tramadol can be taken with or without food. If having nausea, it
may help to take Tramadol with food. Always ask the doctor or pharmacist about
other ways to decrease nausea (such as lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as
little head movement as possible).
The dosage is based on the medical condition and response to
treatment. To reduce the risk of side effects, the doctor may direct you to
start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow the
doctor's instructions carefully.
The maximum recommended dose is 400 milligrams per day. If older
than 7, the maximum recommended dose is 300 milligrams per day.
It is also highly discouraged to increase the dose, take it more
frequently or for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication
when directed.
Tramadol work best if it is used as the first signs of
pain occur. If waiting until the pain has worsened, it may not work as
well as it is should have taken during the first signs.
If patient has an ongoing pain (such as due to arthritis), the
doctor may direct the patient to also take long-acting narcotic medications, other
non-narcotic pain relievers (such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen) may also be
prescribed with this medication. It is always advisable to ask the doctor or
pharmacist if questions arise about using tramadol safely with other drugs.
Tramadol may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has
been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal
symptoms (such as restlessness, watering eyes, runny nose,
nausea, sweating, muscle aches) may occur if sudden stop in using this medicine.
To prevent withdrawal reactions, the doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Time
and time again it is highly recommended to consult the doctor or pharmacist for
more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
Along with its benefits, Tramadol may rarely cause abnormal
drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if the patient
has abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medicine exactly as
prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction. Always tell the doctor if your pain
persists or worsens.
