Safety Considerations and Potential Side Effects

Always consult your doctor before using Viagra or any medication. This is especially true if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, a history of stroke, or are taking other medications, including nitrates. Discuss potential drug interactions.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, seek medical advice. More rarely, you may experience vision changes (blurred vision, sensitivity to light), dizziness, or hearing loss.

Serious Side Effects

Seek immediate medical help if you experience a prolonged erection (priapism), lasting more than four hours, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or sudden vision loss. These can be signs of serious health problems. While rare, these side effects require prompt attention.

Remember, this information is for general knowledge and does not replace professional medical advice. Your doctor can assess your individual health status and determine if Viagra is appropriate for you and monitor for any potential side effects specific to your situation.
