What can change the amount of time Sildenafil takes to work?

Clinical studies of FDA-approved sildenafil (Viagra) have established general time ranges for onset. One such study gave 17 men a dose and timed the exact onset in minutes.

Studies of FDA-approved sildenafil have demonstrated an average time to erection of 27 minutes in clinical trials, with individual variations from 12 to 70 minutes.

The range between 12 minutes to 70 minutes seems pretty wide, so what is causing the difference when these men are given the same exact medication?

Some of the main reasons for differences in time to response for Sildenafil have to do with the person.

Certain factors such as your current health, your general diet, any additional medications you are on, and any other conditions that you have can affect the onset of Sildenafil.

In general, the better your current health is when you are taking Sildenafil, the quicker it will get to work.

But, once you figure out what your average time to onset is, this time will probably remain pretty consistent.

So you can make a mental note of your average onset of Sildenafil and use that to generalize the best time to take it for the future.

Should you take Sildenafil with food?

Whether you should take your Sildenafil dose with food or not is a common question we hear.

And with a lot of romantic evenings beginning with a nice dinner out, this question is a good one.

Having food in your stomach is one of the biggest reasons for a change in the time for Sildenafil to start working.

Studies of FDA-approved sildenafil have examined how quickly the medication enters the system in fasting versus fed states.

Research on FDA-approved sildenafil has shown that food intake delays the onset by about an hour compared to fasting.

FDA-approved sildenafil studies showed approximately an 11% decrease in drug exposure in the fed state compared to fasting.

So, if you want the quickest response possible from sildenafil, scheduling a meal after dosing is recommended.

How long does Sildenafil take to work?: Bottom line

In summary, you should expect sildenafil to work within about 30-60 minutes after you take the tablet.

If you need more exact timing answers than that, you can generally go with how the medication normally works for you as long as you have the same amount of food in your stomach.

Having just had a meal will likely make sildenafil take longer to work than if you had an empty stomach.

Your current health conditions and other medications may also play a role in delaying the time to onset of Sildenafil.

Make a mental note of how long it takes for sildenafil to work for you and consider meal timing to optimize when you want the medication to take effect.
