This 40 mg dosage strength is often recommended for men with moderate to severe ED, especially when lower doses have not provided sufficient results. Vidalista 40 mg is known for its long-lasting effects, which can last up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname “weekend pill.” The tablet should be taken 30–60 minutes before sexual activity, with or without food. However, it should not be taken more than once in 24 hours. Common side effects may include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, or mild dizziness, which usually resolve on their own. Men with certain medical conditions—such as heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, or those taking nitrate medications—should avoid using Vidalista 40 mg without medical approval.
