Consulting Your Doctor Before Starting Viagra

Schedule a consultation. Discuss your medical history completely, including any heart conditions, high blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems.

Your doctor will assess your overall health and determine if Viagra is right for you. They will also consider any medications you are currently taking, as interactions can occur.

    Be prepared to discuss any existing health issues. Bring a list of all your current prescriptions and over-the-counter medications. Clearly describe your symptoms and concerns.

Expect a thorough physical examination. Your doctor may order blood tests to evaluate your overall health and check for potential contraindications.

Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage. Report any side effects immediately, such as headaches, flushing, or visual disturbances. Understand that Viagra is not a cure for erectile dysfunction, but rather a treatment to help improve symptoms.

Discuss potential side effects and alternative treatments. Your doctor can provide information about different options if Viagra isn’t suitable or causes unwanted side effects. They may suggest lifestyle changes or explore other medication options.

Regular follow-up appointments are beneficial. Maintain open communication with your doctor to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. This ensures your safety and efficacy of treatment.
