Viagra, like any medication, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Viagra interacts with certain medications. Specifically, combining Viagra with nitrates can drastically lower blood pressure, potentially leading to a dangerous drop. This combination is strictly prohibited. Also, be aware of potential interactions with alpha-blockers, often prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate. Consult your doctor about all medications you are taking before using Viagra.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Viagra’s side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is generally advised. Grapefruit juice can also affect Viagra’s metabolism; avoid excessive consumption.
