Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting Viagra. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.
Less common, but more serious, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), which requires immediate medical attention. This condition can damage penile tissue if left untreated.
Heart problems are a potential risk, particularly for men with pre-existing heart conditions. Viagra can lower blood pressure, potentially leading to dizziness or fainting. Inform your doctor about any heart issues before using Viagra.
Hearing and vision problems have been reported, though rarely. Sudden vision loss or hearing loss necessitates immediate medical consultation.
Viagra interacts with certain medications, including nitrates. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Provide your doctor with a complete list of your medications.
Individual reactions vary. If you experience any concerning side effects, stop using Viagra and seek medical advice immediately. Open communication with your doctor is key to safe and effective use.
