Always consult your doctor before using Viagra or any medication. Side effects vary, but common ones include headaches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less common, but more serious, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinged vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism).
Priapism requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction. Heart problems, such as chest pain or irregular heartbeat, can also occur, especially in men with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Therefore, a thorough medical history is crucial before initiating treatment.
Viagra can interact negatively with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you are currently taking.
Rare but serious side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical help if you experience these symptoms. Individual responses to medication vary; these side effects are not guaranteed, but awareness is vital for your safety.
This information does not replace professional medical advice. A doctor can assess your individual risk factors and determine if Viagra is appropriate for you. Discuss any concerns you have before starting treatment.
