Why a fatty meal moves the hour
Fasted, the peak sits between 30 and 120 minutes, median 60 minutes. With a high-fat meal the peak arrives about 60 minutes later and is 29% lower. The tablet is still allowed with food. The hour you planned just slides.1
That is a timing problem, not a canceled dose. A second tablet the same day is not the fix. The maximum frequency is once per day.1
How long sildenafil lasts
Parent drug and the N-desmethyl metabolite both have terminal half-lives of about 4 hours. That is why men feel a shorter window than with tadalafil, whose half-life is 17.5 hours.1
The label still lets the tablet be taken from 30 minutes to 4 hours before sex. Stimulation is required. An erection lasting more than 4 hours is a stop sign, not a success.1
50 mg first, 100 mg later
For most patients the recommended dose is 50 mg as needed, about 1 hour before sexual activity. Based on how it works and how it feels, the dose may rise to 100 mg or fall to 25 mg.1
Age over 65, cirrhosis, creatinine clearance under 30 mL/min, and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, erythromycin, saquinavir) raise blood levels. The label asks the prescriber to consider 25 mg first in those groups. With ritonavir the cap is 25 mg in 48 hours.1
What rises at 100 mg
In the fixed-dose table, headache was 16% on 25 mg, 21% on 50 mg and 28% on 100 mg, against 7% on placebo. Flushing was 10%, 19% and 18% against 2%. Dyspepsia was 3%, 9% and 17% against 2%.1
Nitrates in any form are a contraindication. Sudden vision or hearing loss means stop and get help.1

Answers follow the U.S. Viagra (sildenafil) prescribing information.
Is 100 mg the usual first tablet?
No. The label starts most men at 50 mg about an hour before sex. 100 mg is the ceiling after 50 mg has been tried. 25 mg is the step down.
I took it after a burger and felt nothing for a long time.
A high-fat meal delayed the peak by about 60 minutes and cut the peak level by 29% in the label study. The tablet was not wasted. The useful hour moved. Next time, swallow after the plate is gone, or accept a later start. Do not take a second tablet that day.
How long will 100 mg last?
The half-life is about 4 hours for the parent drug and its active metabolite. The label allows the dose from 30 minutes to 4 hours before sex. That is a shorter clock than tadalafil's 36-hour window.
The pharmacy wanted hundreds of dollars for ten 100 mg tablets.
That matches the undiscounted retail line. GoodRx put average retail for ten generic 100 mg tablets at $658.88 and the coupon at $15.28. Brand Viagra on the same service was $251.30 coupon against $1,062.69 retail.
