Always consult your doctor to determine the appropriate Viagra dosage for you. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and any health conditions.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually mild and temporary.
- Headache: Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Flushing: Wear light clothing and stay in a cool environment. Nasal Congestion: Use a saline nasal spray or consider over-the-counter decongestants. Avoid overuse. Upset Stomach: Take Viagra with food to minimize this effect.
Less common but more serious side effects include:
- Vision changes: Blurred vision, blue-tinged vision. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss. Hearing loss: Ringing in the ears or sudden hearing loss. Immediate medical attention is required. Prolonged erection (priapism): An erection lasting more than four hours requires immediate medical attention, as this is a medical emergency. Chest pain or irregular heartbeat: Stop taking Viagra and seek immediate medical assistance.
