Managing Side Effects: What to Expect and How to Cope

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. This helps your body process the medication and can lessen the impact of some side effects.

Headaches are common. Try over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but always check with your doctor first before combining medications.

Facial flushing? This usually resolves on its own. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, as these can worsen the redness.

Nasal congestion can occur. Use a saline nasal spray to help clear your nasal passages.

Indigestion or upset stomach might happen. Take Viagra with food to minimize this. Avoid fatty or greasy meals.

Muscle aches are possible. Gentle exercise, like a short walk, can often help. Rest when needed.

Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light, are rare but possible. If you experience these, avoid driving or operating machinery until they subside.

If side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience unusual symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Remember to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for dosage and timing. This will help minimize any potential side effects.
