Potential Side Effects and Interactions

Always consult your doctor before taking Viagra. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, and nasal congestion. These are usually mild and temporary.

More serious, though rare, side effects include chest pain, sudden vision loss, or prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.

Viagra can interact with certain medications, particularly nitrates used to treat heart conditions. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Alcohol consumption can enhance side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake while using Viagra.

Certain pre-existing health conditions, such as heart disease or low blood pressure, may make Viagra unsafe. Your doctor will assess your suitability for the medication.
