Missed Dose and Overdose
In case, patients have missed the dosage of Viagra, they need to take it as soon as they remember it. If it is almost time to take next dosage, patients must start avoid taking missed dosage and start with regular schedule. This is true if it is not used on an “as needed basis”. They should never take extra dosage to compensate with missed dosage.
In case if patients have taken over dosage of the drug then they should seek medical attention immediately. They can even consult to their local poison information center.
