Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs. This includes nitrates used to treat chest pain, as combining them with Viagra can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Certain medications for high blood pressure can interact with Viagra. Discuss this with your physician before use, especially if you take alpha-blockers.
Viagra may interact with medications affecting liver enzymes. Your doctor should assess your liver function before prescribing Viagra.
If you have a heart condition, talk to your doctor before using Viagra. Pre-existing heart problems might be exacerbated.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stroke, heart attack, or irregular heartbeat. Viagra could potentially increase these risks.
People with kidney or liver disease should discuss Viagra use with their doctor, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.
Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Viagra. It can affect how your body processes the medication.
Alcohol consumption can lower blood pressure and may intensify Viagra’s side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake.
Do not take Viagra more frequently than prescribed. Overdosing can lead to adverse effects.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience serious side effects such as prolonged erection (priapism), chest pain, or vision changes.
