Consult your doctor before taking Viagra, especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease. Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. It’s crucial to discuss your medical history completely.
Common Side Effects
Viagra commonly causes headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances (blurred vision, sensitivity to light). These usually are mild and temporary. However, more serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), which requires immediate medical attention. Other less common side effects can include dizziness, indigestion, and muscle aches.
Serious Side Effects
Seek immediate medical help if you experience a sudden decrease or loss of vision, hearing loss, or chest pain. These are rare but serious potential side effects. Interaction with other medications is possible; inform your physician about all drugs you are currently taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. Grapefruit juice can increase Viagra’s effects; avoid consuming it while using this medication.
Dosage and Precautions
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage carefully. Never exceed the recommended dose. Alcohol consumption can enhance side effects; moderation is advised. Viagra’s effectiveness varies from person to person; consistent use doesn’t guarantee success. Regular checkups with your doctor are recommended, especially for long-term use.
