Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before taking Viagra. Common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Heart-related problems are a concern. Viagra can lower blood pressure, so it’s crucial to inform your doctor about existing heart conditions or high blood pressure. Avoid Viagra if you’ve had a recent heart attack or stroke.
Certain medications can interact negatively with Viagra. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. This helps prevent dangerous interactions.
Alcohol consumption can exacerbate side effects. Limit alcohol intake while taking Viagra.
Remember, Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. Your doctor will assess your medical history to determine if it’s safe for you.
