Avoid taking Viagra if you are currently using a nitrate medication for chest pain or heart issues. This includes drugs like nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate. Combining Viagra with a nitrate medication can lead to a sudden and severe drop in blood pressure. If you experience dizziness, nausea, or sensations of pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw during sexual activity, cease all activities and contact your doctor immediately. This could indicate a serious side effect of Viagra.
Do not use Viagra more than once a day. Ensure that 24 hours have passed between doses. If you experience a painful erection or one that lasts longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention or consult your doctor right away. A prolonged erection (priapism) can be harmful to the penis.
Viagra may reduce blood flow to the eye's optic nerve, potentially resulting in sudden vision loss. This has been reported in a small group of individuals using Viagra, most of whom had underlying issues such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain existing eye conditions, as well as those who smoke or are over 50. It remains unclear whether Viagra is directly responsible for vision loss.
Discontinue Viagra usage and seek emergency medical assistance if you experience sudden vision loss.
To ensure the safe use of Viagra, inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions: heart disease or arrhythmias; a recent history (within the last 6 months) of heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure; high or low blood pressure; coronary artery disease; liver or kidney disorders; blood cell disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia; bleeding disorders such as hemophilia; stomach ulcers; retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited eye condition); any physical abnormalities of the penis (like Peyronie's disease); or if you have been advised against sexual intercourse for health reasons.
