Understanding Potential Side Effects and Risks

Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting Viagra or any medication. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.

More Serious Side Effects

Less common, but more serious side effects require immediate medical attention. These include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of these.

Risk Factors

Certain health conditions increase the risk of side effects. Men with heart problems, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease should discuss Viagra use carefully with their doctor. Using Viagra with nitrates can be dangerous and is strictly prohibited.

Medication Interactions

Some medications interact negatively with Viagra. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking. This includes prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

Alcohol Consumption

Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects and reduce Viagra’s effectiveness. Moderate alcohol intake is generally acceptable, but always consult your doctor.
