Side Effects of Viagra: What Can I Expect?

For most men, there are either no side effects or the side effects of Viagra are so minor they don’t outweigh the benefits. However, as with any medication, some people may react differently to it.

The good thing is, Cialis and Levitra are two alternative ED medications that may produce more positive results if you experience side effects with Viagra. Levitra is held in high esteem by many doctors for providing the least amount of side effects among the three FDA-approved medications for ED.

Pfizer On Viagra Side Effects

Drug makers don’t want to – and aren’t allowed to – deceive or mislead their customers. But they also don’t want to spook them with excessive health warnings. So product labels are typically understated.

Here’s what Pfizer’s official Viagra website says about the effects of Viagra:

The most common side effects of Viagra are:

  • Headache
  • Facial flushing
  • Upset stomach

Less common side effects of Viagra are temporary bluish vision or blurred vision, or being sensitive to light. In clinical studies:

  • Patients rarely stopped taking Viagra because of side effects
  • The frequency of Viagra side effects has been shown to decrease over time

Taking Viagra does not make you more dependent upon it to get or maintain an erection.

 

When you first read the package insert or our online list of Viagra side effects, they sound so minor that it’s tempting to ignore them and just focus on the great sex you’re about to have.

Viagra Dependency

Could there be withdrawal symptoms from Viagra? Could men become so psychologically dependent on Viagra that they will not be able to get an erection without it?

U.S. physician Dr. Ira Sharlip told a PBS.org forum that Viagra is NOT habit forming, nor does it require steadily increasing doses to be effective as an impotence treatment for suitable patients.

But sociologist and bioethicist Paul Wolpe says there is a danger of psychological dependence on Viagra.

That’s why drug manufacturers always advise patients to see their doctor before starting or stopping any treatment… first to ensure you’re taking it for the right reasons and then to help minimize any side effects of Viagra withdrawal.

When you order Viagra from eDrugstore.MD, our consulting physicians will carefully review your medical history and current drug usage to make sure Viagra is appropriate for you and to help you avoid any potential negative effects of Viagra use.
