Nizagara, containing sildenafil, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. Less frequent but potentially serious side effects involve vision changes (blurred vision, blue tinge), prolonged erection (priapism), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention for priapism or sudden hearing changes.
Drug Interactions
Nizagara interacts with nitrates (used for chest pain) causing dangerously low blood pressure. Avoid combining them. Also, interacting medications include alpha-blockers (for high blood pressure or prostate problems), certain antifungals, HIV protease inhibitors, and some antibiotics. Always inform your doctor about all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting Nizagara.
Other Considerations
Pre-existing heart conditions, low blood pressure, stroke history, or retinitis pigmentosa increase the risk of serious side effects. Nizagara should be used cautiously or avoided entirely in these cases. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.
