Consult your doctor before using Viagra, especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease. Viagra can interact negatively with certain medications, like nitrates. Always disclose your full medical history.
Common Side Effects
Many experience mild side effects like headaches, flushing, stuffy nose, and indigestion. These are usually temporary. However, seek immediate medical attention if you experience a prolonged or painful erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss.
Serious Side Effects
Rare but serious side effects include heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and even death. These risks increase with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Your doctor will assess your suitability for Viagra based on your health profile. Don’t hesitate to discuss any concerns you may have.
Medication Interactions
Viagra’s interaction with other drugs can be dangerous. Avoid combining it with nitrates or other medications without explicit doctor’s approval. Provide a complete list of all your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
What to Do if Side Effects Occur
Stop taking Viagra and contact your doctor or seek immediate medical help if you experience any concerning side effects. Early intervention can minimize potential complications. Your health and safety are paramount.
