Never take Viagra if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or have recently had a stroke or heart attack. These conditions increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
Avoid Viagra if you suffer from retinitis pigmentosa, a rare inherited eye disease. Viagra may worsen this condition.
Do not combine Viagra with nitrates (found in some heart medications). This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Consult your doctor about other medications you are taking, including those for high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease. Some medications interact negatively with Viagra.
Viagra is not suitable for everyone. Men with a history of priapism (prolonged erection) should avoid it. This condition is painful and can cause permanent damage.
If you experience sudden vision loss, stop using Viagra and seek immediate medical attention. This could be a sign of a serious side effect.
Drink alcohol moderately while using Viagra, as excessive alcohol intake can increase side effects and lower blood pressure.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency. Taking more Viagra than prescribed does not enhance the effect and may increase risks.
Inform your doctor of any pre-existing health conditions before starting Viagra. This ensures your safety and helps in determining if Viagra is right for you.
If you experience any unusual side effects, discontinue use and contact your physician promptly. Common side effects include headache, flushing, and nasal congestion. Less common, but more serious, side effects require immediate medical attention.
