Consult your doctor before using Viagra. A medical professional can assess your health and determine if Viagra is appropriate for you, considering any existing health conditions or medications you’re taking.
Understanding Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Less common but more serious side effects, such as prolonged erection (priapism), chest pain, or sudden vision loss, require immediate medical attention.
- Headache: Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relief. Flushing: Wear loose clothing and stay hydrated. Nasal Congestion: Use saline nasal spray if needed.
Always report any unusual symptoms to your doctor.
Dosage and Timing
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage precisely. Take Viagra approximately one hour before sexual activity. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with Viagra and increase its effects. Alcohol consumption can affect Viagra’s effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects. Moderate your intake.
Interactions and Contraindications
Inform your doctor about all medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Certain medications can interact negatively with Viagra. Conditions such as heart disease, low blood pressure, or certain eye problems may make Viagra unsafe.
Storage and Disposal
Store Viagra in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Dispose of expired or unwanted medication properly, following your pharmacist’s instructions.
Seeking Help
If you experience any concerning side effects or have questions about Viagra’s use, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Don’t hesitate to seek professional medical advice.
