Sildenafil 100mg, while generally safe, carries potential side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances such as blurred vision or changes in color perception. These typically are mild and transient.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and sudden vision loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Important Note: Sildenafil can interact with certain medications, notably nitrates used for heart conditions. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking before starting Sildenafil.
Risk factors increase the likelihood of side effects. These include pre-existing heart conditions, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, and certain eye conditions. Open communication with your doctor about your medical history is critical.
Rare but potentially serious side effects include prolonged erection (priapism) requiring immediate medical help, and hearing loss. While uncommon, awareness of these possibilities is beneficial.
This information should not replace a consultation with a healthcare professional. They can assess your individual risk and determine if Sildenafil 100mg is appropriate for you.
