Always consult your doctor before starting Viagra. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, and nasal congestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinted vision), prolonged erection (priapism), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Viagra can interact with certain medications, especially nitrates used to treat heart conditions. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you are taking.
Pre-existing heart conditions, low blood pressure, stroke history, or liver or kidney problems require careful consideration before taking Viagra. Your doctor will assess your suitability for the medication.
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Viagra, as it can increase the risk of side effects. Similarly, consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice can impact Viagra’s effectiveness and should be avoided.
Viagra is not intended for women or individuals under 18 years of age. Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
If you experience any concerning side effects or have questions, contact your doctor or pharmacist without delay.
