What are Viagra's side effects?
There is a number of possible side effects that can occur when taking Viagra (Sildenafil), most of them being mild to moderate [2]. For example:
- Headaches
- Indigestion
- Flushing
- Nasal congestion
- Abnormal vision
There is a risk that these side effects can be exacerbated when Viagra (Sildenafil) is taken in combination with alcohol[3], so if you're experiencing more negative effects than usual when drinking, it may be a sign to cut out alcohol when taking erectile dysfunction treatments.
Although a low risk, there have also been cases reported of priapism (prolonged erection which won't go away)[3].
This can be treated by the services of a medical professional, so seek treatment at a hospital if you experience an erection that lasts for over four hours.
