Viagra, or sildenafil, typically comes in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Your doctor will determine the best starting dose based on your individual health and medical history. Begin with the lowest dose and adjust as needed under medical supervision.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision or sudden vision loss), prolonged erection (priapism), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Never exceed the recommended dosage. Taking more Viagra than prescribed won’t improve results and increases your risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Alcohol consumption can reduce the effectiveness of Viagra and increase the likelihood of side effects. Avoid combining them. Similarly, certain medications may interact negatively with Viagra; always inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
If you experience side effects that are bothersome or persistent, contact your doctor. They can adjust your dosage or suggest alternative treatment options.
