Sildenafil 25mg, while generally well-tolerated, can cause some side effects. These usually are mild and temporary.
Common side effects include headaches, flushing (redness of the face), nasal congestion, and visual disturbances like blurred vision or sensitivity to light. These typically resolve on their own. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Less common, but still possible, side effects are indigestion, dizziness, and muscle aches. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur, including changes in hearing or vision, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
The frequency and severity of side effects can vary depending on individual factors like age, overall health, and other medications being taken. Always inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and health conditions before starting sildenafil.
