Always discuss Viagra use with your Bakersfield doctor before starting treatment. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less common, but potentially serious, side effects involve vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinted vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Viagra can interact with certain medications. Specifically, combining it with nitrates (used to treat chest pain) can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Similarly, interactions with some heart medications, alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure and enlarged prostate), and antifungal medications are possible. Your doctor in Bakersfield should review your complete medication list to identify potential interactions.
Certain health conditions can also influence the safety of Viagra. Men with heart disease, stroke history, low blood pressure, or uncontrolled high blood pressure should exercise caution. Similarly, those with liver or kidney problems need careful monitoring. Openly discuss your medical history with your physician for personalized advice.
