Brief Answer:
Can be used with dosage reduction of Viagra

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Sotoger is Sotalol which is a beta-blocker. It decreases the metabolism and clearance of Viagra by the liver. So if the two are to be used together, the dose of Viagra should be reduced by one third.
Viagra has severe life threatening reaction with Nitrates and they should not be taken by the same person.
Take care

Brief Answer:
25mg is fine to start with.

Detailed Answer:
To start with you can use 25 mg. If you have the desired effect with that you can continue on it. If the effect is not sufficient, you can go upto 50 mg as the maximum dose in people on no other medication is upto 100mg.
