You can try again later but remember you can only take 1 tablet a day. For most men, Viagra Connect will work the first or second time they try it. If it has been some time since you were able to get or keep an erection, it may take a couple of attempts before you achieve the desired effect. Talk to your doctor if you have tried Viagra Connect, and are still not able to get and keep an erection. • If you feel the effect of Viagra Connect is too strong, talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
