Viagra (Sildenafil) helps relax muscles and enhances blood flow to specific regions of the body.
Avoid taking Viagra if you are also prescribed a nitrate medication for chest pain or heart issues, such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or isosorbide mononitrate. Combining Viagra with a nitrate drug can lead to a rapid and severe drop in blood pressure. If you experience dizziness, nausea, or pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw during sexual activity, discontinue use and contact your doctor immediately, as this could indicate a serious side effect of Viagra.
Limit the use of Viagra to once a day, allowing a 24-hour interval between doses. Seek medical attention if you have an erection that is painful or lasts more than 4 hours, as a prolonged erection (priapism) may harm the penis.
Viagra may reduce blood flow to the optic nerve in the eye, potentially leading to unexpected vision loss. This risk has been noted in a small group of users, predominantly those with underlying conditions like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye issues, especially among smokers or individuals over 50. The direct relationship between Viagra and vision loss remains unclear.
If you experience sudden vision loss, stop using Viagra and seek emergency medical assistance.
To ensure it's safe for you to use Viagra, inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions: heart disease or arrhythmias; a recent heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure within the last 6 months; high or low blood pressure; coronary artery disease; liver or kidney issues; blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia; bleeding disorders like hemophilia; stomach ulcers; retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited eye condition); a physical deformity of the penis (like Peyronie's disease); or if you have been advised against sexual activity for health reasons.
