Experience a headache or stuffy nose? Many men taking Viagra report mild side effects. These usually disappear within a few hours. Drink plenty of water and rest. If they persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
More serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include chest pain, sudden vision changes, prolonged erection (priapism), or hearing loss. Call emergency services (911 or your local equivalent) if you experience any of these.
Before starting Viagra, discuss your medical history with your doctor. This includes existing conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, or liver problems. Certain medications may interact with Viagra, so provide a complete list of your current prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs.
| Headache | Rest, drink water, over-the-counter pain relief (consult your doctor first) |
| Facial flushing | Drink plenty of fluids |
| Indigestion | Avoid large meals before taking Viagra |
| Nasal congestion | Use saline nasal spray |
| Serious side effects (chest pain, vision changes, prolonged erection, hearing loss) | Seek immediate medical attention |
Your doctor can assess your individual risk factors and recommend the appropriate dosage and management strategy. They can also help you address any concerns or questions about Viagra and its potential side effects. Open communication with your healthcare provider is key to a safe and effective treatment experience.
