The medical scare I had earlier this year turned out to be nothing. I thought I had an erection lasting more than 3 hours. It turned out, I had a half eaten pack of Lifesavers in my pocket.
What are some things I need to know or do while I take Viagra?
Tell all of your health care providers that you take this medicine. This includes your doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists.
Avoid driving and doing other tasks or actions that call for you to be alert until you see how Viagra affects you.
To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Be careful going up and down stairs.
Do not take this medicine with other drugs used to treat a change in sex ability.
Talk with your doctor before you drink alcohol.
Very bad and sometimes deadly side effects like a heartbeat that does not feel normal, heart attack, stroke, and very bad high blood pressure have happened with Viagra. Talk with the doctor.
A very bad eye problem has rarely happened with this medicine. This may lead to a change in eyesight and sometimes loss of eyesight, which may not come back. Talk with the doctor.
This medicine does not stop the spread of diseases like HIV or hepatitis that are passed through blood or having sex. Do not have any kind of sex without using a latex or polyurethane condom. Do not share needles or other things like toothbrushes or razors. Talk with your doctor.
