Always discuss potential side effects and drug interactions with your doctor before taking Viagra. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Viagra can interact negatively with certain medications. Nitrates, used to treat chest pain, are a particularly dangerous combination, potentially causing a drastic drop in blood pressure. Also, avoid combining Viagra with alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate problems) as this can also lead to dangerously low blood pressure.
Certain antifungals, HIV medications, and some antibiotics may also interact with Viagra. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking to ensure safe use.
