Always talk to your doctor before starting Viagra. This medication isn’t suitable for everyone.
Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary. However, seek medical attention if they become severe or persistent.
Less common, but more serious, side effects can include vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinged vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Priapism requires immediate medical help as it can lead to permanent damage. Sudden vision or hearing loss also needs urgent attention.
Certain medical conditions preclude Viagra use. These include heart problems, low blood pressure, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver or kidney disease, recent stroke or heart attack, and a history of certain eye conditions. You should also disclose any other medications you’re taking, as interactions can occur.
Avoid alcohol while using Viagra, as it can worsen side effects. Grapefruit juice also interacts negatively; avoid it.
Dosage instructions are critical. Follow your doctor’s recommendations precisely. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Storage: Keep Viagra in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any concerning side effects. Your health and safety are paramount.
