Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis, aiding in achieving and maintaining an erection. However, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects. These are usually mild and temporary, but some may require medical attention.
| Headache | Common | Usually resolves on its own; consider over-the-counter pain relief. |
| Facial flushing | Common | Drink plenty of water; usually subsides quickly. |
| Indigestion | Common | Avoid fatty meals before taking Viagra; consult your doctor if persistent. |
| Nasal congestion | Common | Use saline nasal spray if needed. |
| Visual disturbances (blurred vision, sensitivity to light) | Less common | Stop using Viagra and contact your doctor immediately. |
| Hearing loss | Rare | Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Prolonged erection (priapism) | Rare but serious | Seek immediate medical help; this is a medical emergency. |
Remember, this information doesn’t replace a consultation with your doctor. Always discuss your medical history and any medications you’re taking before using Viagra. Your doctor can help determine the appropriate dosage and address any concerns.
