Generally, both brand-name Viagra (sildenafil citrate) and generic versions share similar side effects. However, individual reactions can vary.
Common side effects for both include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually mild and temporary.
Less common, but more serious, side effects are rare but possible with both. These include vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinted vision), hearing loss, and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Differences in side effect profile are usually minimal. The primary difference lies in the inactive ingredients – fillers and binders – which can affect individual tolerance. One formulation might cause a slightly stronger reaction in a particular person compared to another.
Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting any medication, including generic sildenafil. They can assess your individual risk factors and help you make an informed decision.
