Staxyn comes in 5mg and 10mg tablets. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health status. Begin with the lowest dose (5mg) unless your physician instructs otherwise.
Taking Staxyn
Take Staxyn approximately 60 minutes before sexual activity. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush the tablet. Absorption is improved on an empty stomach. The presence of food can affect how quickly the medication works.
Frequency of Use
Staxyn is intended for use as needed, not for daily use. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding frequency.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose and it’s still within the timeframe before sexual activity, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule.
Storage
Store Staxyn at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication in its original container to maintain its potency.
Important Note:
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting Staxyn or changing your dosage. They can provide tailored guidance based on your specific health conditions and medications.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and dyspepsia. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience serious side effects such as chest pain, prolonged erection, or vision changes.
