How do you take this medication?

What happens if I miss a dose?

It's generally not a big problem, especially when Stendra is taken “as needed” (not on a regular dosing schedule) prior to intimacy (before sexual activity). Do not take two doses of Stendra at the same time to make up for the missed dose.

What happens if I take too much?

Taking too much of this medication can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness, headache and low blood pressure. If you have taken more than directed and are experiencing symptoms, call your medical provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222) right away.
