Getting the most from your treatment.
Timing, food, and what to do if the first try didn't go to plan — the practical stuff, discreetly.
If it didn't work ↓
Timing
Plan ahead
Most treatments are taken 30–60 minutes before — check your specific one.
Give it time
It won't work instantly; allow the full window to pass.
Arousal still matters
It helps the body respond — it isn't automatic on its own.
Once a day at most
Don't take more than directed. [Detail pending clinical copy.]

Food and alcohol
A heavy or fatty meal can slow things down, so it may take longer to work. Alcohol can make it less effective and isn't a good mix. Lighter is better if you can plan it.

If the first time didn't work
Honestly? It often takes a couple of goes to get the timing and expectations right. One off night isn't a failure and doesn't mean the treatment's wrong for you.
