Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including herbal supplements, before starting generic Viagra. This helps avoid dangerous interactions.
Common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. More severe, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue tint to vision), prolonged erection (priapism), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Heart Conditions and Viagra
Generic Viagra can lower blood pressure. If you have heart problems, including angina, high or low blood pressure, or have had a recent heart attack or stroke, discuss the risks with your physician before use. Using Viagra with nitrates is strictly prohibited due to the potential for a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Other Precautions
Avoid alcohol and grapefruit juice while taking generic Viagra, as they can interact negatively with the medication. This combination can increase the risk of side effects. If you experience dizziness or faintness, avoid driving or operating machinery. Generic Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone; your doctor will assess your suitability for this treatment.
