Viagra, like all medications, carries potential side effects. Common side effects include headaches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. 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), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours or sudden hearing loss.
Viagra can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before starting Viagra.
Men with certain pre-existing conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, or low blood pressure, should discuss the risks with their doctor before using Viagra. It’s also not suitable for everyone, including those with certain eye conditions.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and frequency of use. Never exceed the recommended dose. If you experience any concerning side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
