Can Viagra (Sildenafil) Be Harmful?

Viagra (Sildenafil) is considered to be a safe and effective erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment. However, for individuals with certain underlying conditions, it can increase the risk of serious side effects. If you're taking nitrates or have heart problems, avoid Viagra (Sildenafil).

What is Viagra (Sildenafil)?

Viagra (Sildenafil) is an FDA-approved treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men aged 18 and older. It belongs to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. Viagra (Sildenafil) works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing more blood to flow in, helping you achieve and sustain an erection.

It's important to note that while Viagra (Sildenafil) does help you maintain an erection, it does not give you a spontaneous erection. In order for this pill to work, you first must be sexually aroused.

Dangers to consider when taking Viagra (Sildenafil)

Viagra (Sildenafil) is considered a safe and effective ED treatment. As with all medications, there are certain side effects (mild and serious) that you need to be aware of. Also, people with specific underlying conditions should not take this drug.

It's best to always consult with your doctor to discuss the right treatment plan for you.

Common side effects:

• Headache

• Flushing

• Upset stomach

• Stuffy or runny nose

• Back pain

• Muscle pain

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Rash

Talk to your doctor if you:

• Have or have had heart problems such as a heart attack, irregular heartbeat, angina, chest pain, narrowing of the aortic valve, or heart failure

• Have had heart surgery within the last 6 months

• Have pulmonary hypertension

• Have had a stroke

• Have low blood pressure, or high blood pressure that is not controlled

• Have an abnormal penis shape

• Have had an erection that lasted for more than 4 hours

When should I talk to my doctor?

Although talking about ED can be embarrassing, not getting help is worse. You should consult your doctor if:

• You're having a harder time achieving/maintaining a full erection

• Your sex drive or desire to have sex has diminished

• You're experiencing anxiety about your sexual performance

Your doctor can help you find the right treatment plan based on your specific needs, age, and overall health condition. They might suggest lifestyle changes combined with a prescription ED treatment such as Viagra (Sildenafil).
