Consult your doctor before using Viagra, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Drink plenty of water to help with flushing and congestion. Over-the-counter pain relievers can manage headaches.
More Serious Side Effects
Less common, but more serious, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), which requires immediate medical attention. Vision changes, such as blurred vision or sudden vision loss, also need prompt medical evaluation. Seek immediate medical help if you experience chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or dizziness. These could indicate a serious cardiovascular event.
Remember to follow your doctor’s dosage instructions precisely. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with Viagra and increase its effects. If you experience any concerning side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. They can provide guidance on managing these and help determine if Viagra is the right medication for you.
