Understanding Viagra: Dosage, Side Effects, and Precautions

Consult your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage for you. Common starting doses are 50mg, though 25mg or 100mg may be prescribed depending on individual needs and response.

Viagra’s effects typically last 4-5 hours. Don’t exceed the recommended dose or take it more frequently than directed.

Possible Side Effects:

    Headache Facial flushing Nasal congestion Upset stomach Muscle aches Visual disturbances (blurred vision, sensitivity to light)

Serious side effects are rare, but seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, sudden vision loss, prolonged erection (priapism), or hearing loss.

Precautions:

Inform your doctor about all medications you’re currently taking, including herbal supplements. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact negatively with Viagra. Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. Conditions like heart disease, low blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack, or certain eye problems may preclude its use. Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is recommended. Don’t use Viagra if you’ve been advised against sexual activity due to health reasons.
