Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Viagra dosage. Typical starting doses range from 25mg to 50mg, taken as needed, about an hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and overall health.
Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These usually are mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Certain medications and health conditions can interact with Viagra. Discuss all your medications and health history with your physician before taking Viagra. This includes nitrates, alpha-blockers, and certain heart conditions. Alcohol can also amplify side effects; moderate consumption is advised.
Viagra is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with severe heart or liver problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of stroke should not use Viagra. Your doctor can assess your suitability for this medication.
