Which Viagra strengths can a US order list?

Last reviewed · 3 min read · Updated

Bone review card, cobalt edge, lime chip: three blue tablets, short ladder

A US Viagra or generic sildenafil order sits on one of three film-coated tablets: 25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg. Most adults start at 50 mg. The labeled ceiling is 100 mg once per day. This scan names the three rungs. How to climb them sits on the dose-ladder signal.

Which strengths can a US pharmacy put on the bottle?

25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. Brand Viagra supplies those three as blue rounded-diamond tablets. Listed generics use the same three milligrams with other shapes and imprints.

A script has to name one of those rungs. 'A blue pill' is not a strength.

Is 20 mg three times a day one of these strengths?

No. Pulmonary sildenafil 20 mg TID is a different product. Do not treat it as a fourth ED rung or as cheap generic Viagra. Do not stack it with an as-needed 25-100 mg swallow.

If both bottles are in the house, one prescriber should see them together before anyone adds a night-time ED tablet.

Why does this board keep saying 25-100 mg?

Because those three tablets are the US ED range this site locks. A page that talks only 50 mg would hide the 25 mg start flags and the 100 mg ceiling. The range is the order, not a promise that everyone swallows 100 mg.

Food delay applies across the range. Plate ratings sit on the meal-tag signal.

Does a generic have to look like the blue diamond?

No. Brand stamps and generic imprints differ. The milligram has to match the script. Color is not a food rule and not a potency score. December 2017 is when US shops first stocked those generics; see the generic scan.

Do not jump from 50 mg to 100 mg to 'match a 1998 memory' after a shape change.

Is there a 150 mg US tablet if 100 mg is quiet?

No. The labeled maximum is 100 mg. Two tablets to invent 150 mg or 200 mg are a frequency and dose miss. Once per day still holds.

After two clean 100 mg trials, the next review is cause and class, not a fourth milligram. The sildenafil panel does not invent a rung.

Which of the three is the usual first tablet?

50 mg for most adults, about one hour before activity. 25 mg is the consider-first rung for age, liver, CrCl under 30, CYP, or a stable alpha-blocker. 100 mg is the ceiling after effect and toleration.

The start scan keeps 50 as the default. This page only lists what can be written.

Board thread

Answers follow the U.S. Viagra label.

Cole H., Little Rock The pulmonary bottle is 20 mg. Close enough to 25?

Board reply

No. 20 mg three times a day is the pulmonary lane. 25 mg as needed is an ED start flag. They are not interchangeable rungs.

Piotr J., Fort Wayne The shop only had 100 mg. Is that the usual US order?

Board reply

100 mg is the ceiling, not the usual start. Most adults start at 50 mg. A stocked 100 mg bottle does not rewrite Dosage. Ask whether 25 or 50 mg can be filled against the script.

Sana E., Irvine Can I combine a 50 mg and a 25 mg the same night to make 75?

Board reply

The labeled rungs are 25, 50, and 100 mg, once per day. Inventing 75 mg from two tablets is not a labeled step and may break the once-a-day cap if both go down.
