Consult your doctor before using Viagra, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or have recently had a stroke or heart attack. This medication can interact with nitrates, leading to dangerously low blood pressure. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can increase Viagra’s effects.
Common Side Effects
Expect potential side effects like headache, flushing, stuffy or runny nose, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light, may also occur. Rarely, some men experience muscle aches, back pain, or dizziness.
Serious Side Effects
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience prolonged or painful erections (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. These are serious side effects requiring prompt medical care. A persistent, painful erection can cause permanent damage. Report any unusual or concerning symptoms to your physician.
Remember, Viagra is a prescription medication. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on your individual needs and response to the medication. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
