Consult your doctor before using Viagra, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions. Viagra, like all medications, can cause side effects.
Common Side Effects:
- Headache: This is frequently reported. Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Facial Flushing: A reddening of the face and neck. This usually subsides on its own. Nasal Congestion: Stuffy nose. Decongestants may provide temporary relief, but check with your doctor first. Indigestion: Mild stomach upset. Avoid heavy meals before taking Viagra. Visual Disturbances: Blurred vision, sensitivity to light. These are usually temporary.
Less Common, But Serious Side Effects:
Prolonged Erection (Priapism): Seek immediate medical attention if an erection lasts longer than four hours. This is a medical emergency. Sudden Vision Loss: Stop taking Viagra and contact your doctor immediately if you experience sudden vision loss in one or both eyes. Hearing Loss: Sudden decrease or loss of hearing, sometimes accompanied by ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Seek immediate medical attention. Heart Problems: Chest pain, irregular heartbeat. Contact emergency services if you experience these symptoms. Stroke: This is a rare but serious side effect. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect a stroke.
This list doesn’t include all possible side effects. Your experience may vary. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication. If you experience any unusual or concerning side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
