Consult your doctor before taking Viagra. Headaches are a frequent side effect; you might experience mild to moderate pain. Facial flushing, or redness, is also common. Nasal congestion can occur, sometimes causing a stuffy or runny nose.
More rarely, Viagra can cause indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, and dizziness. Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or changes in color perception, are possible, though usually temporary. If you experience sudden vision loss or hearing loss, seek immediate medical attention.
Serious side effects are uncommon but require immediate medical attention. These include prolonged and painful erections (priapism), chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and stroke. Avoid alcohol and grapefruit juice, as they can interact negatively with Viagra.
People with heart conditions, low blood pressure, or certain eye problems should discuss Viagra use with their physician before taking it. Likewise, individuals using nitrates for chest pain should avoid Viagra due to the risk of dangerously low blood pressure. The drug may also interact with other medications, so provide your doctor with a complete list of all current medications and supplements.
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and only take Viagra as directed.
