So you are about to take your Viagra, or generic Sildenafil, for the first time, and you want the timing to be perfect.
So, just how long does it take for Viagra to work?
The short answer is: For most users, the amount of time for Viagra to start kicking in is 30 minutes to 1 hour.

One study gave 17 men a dose of Viagra and timed out the exact onset in minutes to help establish a general time range for Viagra to start working.
The group had an average time to erection of 27 minutes, with the earliest being 12 minutes, and the latest being 70 minutes.
The range between 12 minutes to 70 minutes seems pretty wide, so what is causing the difference when these men are given the same exact medication?
Some of the main reasons for differences in time to response for Viagra have to do with the person.
Certain factors such as your current health, your general diet, any additional medications you are on, and any other conditions that you have can affect the onset of Viagra.
In general, the better your current health is when you are taking Viagra, the quicker it will get to work.
But, once you figure out what your average time to onset is, this time will probably remain pretty consistent.
So you can make a mental note of your average onset of Viagra and use that to generalize the best time to take it for the future.

Whether you should take your Viagra dose with food or not is a common question we hear.
And with a lot of romantic evenings beginning with a nice dinner out, this question is a good one.
Having food in your stomach is one of the biggest reasons for a change in the time for Viagra to start working.
One study looked into how quickly and efficiently Viagra got into the system of men who were fasting versus men who had just eaten a meal.
The research showed that those who had just eaten delayed the onset of generic Viagra (Sildenafil) by about an hour as compared to those with an empty stomach.
Also, those that had just eaten a meal had about an 11% decrease in overall exposure to the medication.
So, this suggests that if you really want to get the quickest response possible from Viagra or Sildenafil, scheduling that fancy dinner afterward is better.
In summary, you should expect Viagra to work within about 30-60 minutes after you take the tablet.
If you need more exact timing answers than that, you can generally go with how the medication normally works for you as long as you have the same amount of food in your stomach.
Having just had a meal will likely make Viagra take longer to work than if you had an empty stomach.
Your current health conditions and other medications may also play a role in delaying the time to onset of Viagra.
Make a mental note of how long it takes for this medication to work for you and think about if you are going to have a meal or not to better time out when you want Viagra to kick in.
