Consult your doctor before using Viagra or any similar medication. Ignoring this advice could have serious health consequences.
Common Side Effects
Viagra can cause headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though less common, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue tint to vision), prolonged erection (priapism – seek immediate medical attention), and hearing loss.
Serious Risks
Individuals with heart conditions, low blood pressure, or stroke history face increased risks. Viagra interacts negatively with certain medications, including nitrates. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Liver or kidney disease also increases the risk of adverse reactions.
Medication Interactions
| Nitrates | Severe drop in blood pressure, potentially fatal |
| Alpha-blockers | Low blood pressure |
| Certain antifungals | Increased Viagra levels in the blood |
Symptoms Requiring Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, dizziness, sudden vision loss, or a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours. These symptoms may indicate serious health problems.
