Understanding Potential Side Effects and Risks

Always discuss Viagra with your doctor before use. They can assess your health and determine if it’s safe for you.

Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately.

More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.

Certain pre-existing conditions, such as heart disease, low blood pressure, or blood cell disorders, increase the risk of complications. Open communication with your doctor about your medical history is crucial.

Combining Viagra with nitrates (found in some heart medications) can be dangerous, potentially leading to a drastic drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Alcohol consumption can enhance the side effects of Viagra. Moderate your alcohol intake when taking the medication. Your doctor can provide guidance on safe consumption levels.
