Generic Viagra, like its brand-name counterpart, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Certain medications interact with Viagra. These include nitrates (used for chest pain), alpha-blockers (for high blood pressure), and some antifungals. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking before using Viagra.
Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Limit alcohol intake while using Viagra.
Specific health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke history, or low blood pressure, may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Consult your doctor to determine if Viagra is right for you.
