Sildenafil 50mg (e.g. VIAGRA CONNECT)
is the ONLY OTC medication
for erection problems (EPs) that is suitable for daily use, if
required
The recommended dose of VIAGRA CONNECT is one 50mg tablet with water, approximately
one hour before sexual activity. The maximum
recommended frequency is once per day.1
Tadalafil 10mg, the other OTC medication for EPs, is not recommended
for continuous daily use.2 Men who use these tablets
frequently
(i.e. at least twice weekly) should consult their doctor to discuss
whether a
once daily regimen with the lowest doses of tadalafil would be more
suitable.2
