Consult your doctor before starting any medication, including Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra. They can assess your individual health risks and potential interactions with other medications you’re taking.
Common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. However, more serious, though rare, side effects such as vision changes (blurred vision, blue tint to vision), hearing loss, or prolonged erection (priapism) require immediate medical attention.
Certain medications can interact negatively with these drugs. These include nitrates (used to treat chest pain), alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure and enlarged prostate), and some antifungal medications. Mixing these can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always disclose all your current medications and supplements to your doctor or pharmacist.
Grapefruit juice can also interact, increasing the levels of these medications in your blood, potentially leading to increased side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking these drugs.
Alcohol consumption can exacerbate side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake while using Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra.
