Consult your doctor before using Viagra. This medication isn’t suitable for everyone. Potential side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.
Serious Side Effects
Rare but serious side effects require immediate medical attention. These include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, sudden vision loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate help if you experience any of these.
Interactions with Other Medications
Viagra can interact negatively with certain medications, especially nitrates used to treat heart conditions. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Pre-existing Conditions
Men with heart problems, low blood pressure, stroke history, or severe liver/kidney disease should discuss Viagra use with their physician. These conditions increase the risk of adverse reactions. Careful monitoring is vital in such cases.
