How Long Does Sildenafil Tablets Remain In System?
I hope so. How long do Sildenafil 100 tabs remain effective after ingestion? If intercourse is deferred for some reason, (or completely cancelled altogether), at what stage does their efficacy expire and a second tablet is required? How much time is recommended between sexual encounters (and of course the number of pills to be taken in say 24 hours)?

Hi,
Sildenafil tablets typically remain effective in the body for up to 4-5 hours after ingestion. However, the exact duration of effectiveness can vary depending on factors such as age, weight, and overall health. If intercourse is deferred or canceled, the efficacy of the medication will gradually decrease over time as it is metabolized and eliminated from the body. It is not recommended to take a second tablet until at least 24 hours have passed since the first dose.
The recommended time between sexual encounters is typically at least 24 hours to allow for the medication to be metabolized and eliminated from the body. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and not exceed the recommended dose of 100mg in 24 hours.
It is also important to note that Sildenafil should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider and is not recommended for use in certain individuals, such as those with severe heart or liver problems. Always consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication, including Sildenafil.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
