Serious Side Effects of Revatio: What to Watch For

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss or chest pain. These are serious potential side effects requiring prompt action.

Monitor yourself for signs of a sudden, severe allergic reaction, including hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing. Contact your doctor or go to the emergency room immediately if this occurs.

Revatio can cause a drop in blood pressure, potentially leading to dizziness or fainting. Change positions slowly, especially when getting up from a lying or sitting position. Drink plenty of fluids to help maintain blood pressure.

Be aware of potential heart problems. Revatio can worsen existing heart conditions. Inform your doctor about your full medical history before starting treatment.

Some individuals experience headaches, nosebleeds, or flushing. These are usually mild and temporary, but notify your doctor if they are severe or persistent.
