Taking more than the prescribed dose of Viagra can significantly increase the risk of side effects. Higher doses don’t necessarily equate to better results; instead, they raise the probability of experiencing adverse reactions.
Common side effects at higher doses may include intensified headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or changes in color perception. Some men report indigestion or heartburn.
More serious, though less common, side effects can occur, including prolonged and painful erections (priapism), which requires immediate medical attention. This condition can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction if left untreated.
High doses can also exacerbate pre-existing cardiovascular issues. Men with heart conditions should consult their physician before using Viagra, especially at higher doses, as it can increase blood pressure and strain the heart.
Visual impairment, including sudden vision loss, is another potential risk. If you experience any sudden changes in your vision, seek medical help immediately.
Hearing loss, although rare, has been reported in connection with high doses of Viagra. Report any hearing problems to your doctor without delay.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage. Never increase the dose of Viagra without consulting your physician. They can assess your individual risk factors and determine the safest and most effective dose for you.
