Viagra, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Viagra is contraindicated for individuals with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke. Men taking nitrates for chest pain should absolutely avoid Viagra. It also interacts with some other medications. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Your doctor will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if Viagra is safe and appropriate for you. Discuss your health history openly and honestly to ensure your safety and optimal treatment.
