Viagra, while effective for many, can cause side effects. The most common are headaches, flushing, and nasal congestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects include: visual disturbances like blurred vision or changes in color perception; hearing loss or ringing in the ears; chest pain; irregular heartbeat; prolonged erection (priapism); and allergic reactions such as rash or itching.
Seek immediate medical help if you experience: a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours; chest pain; sudden vision loss or hearing loss; or any severe allergic reaction.
These side effects are rare, but knowing them helps ensure your safety. Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting Viagra.
Inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions, particularly heart problems, high or low blood pressure, or eye or hearing issues. He or she can assess the risks and benefits specific to your situation.
Remember, Viagra interacts with other medications. Always tell your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you take.
