Viagra tablets are used for purposes of treating issues related to male sexual function. So, some issues treated by the wonder drug are erectile dysfunction and impotence. Other than providing sexual stimulation, Viagra tablets also increase blood flow to a man’s penis thereby making it easier to get an erection that can last several hours.
It is however important to note that the male sexual enhancement drug cannot be used to safeguard against sexual transmitted infections like HIV, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. For this reason, users of the drug are advised to use latex condoms instead as a means of safeguarding themselves against STIs.
Side Effects of Viagra
Headache, dizziness, stomach upset, or flushing are some of the conditions that are likely to arise as a result of using the drug. There is also a likelihood that vision changes may be witnessed in some individuals. Some of these changes include blurred vision, trouble telling colors apart and a heightened sensitivity to light. If these symptoms occur to you, then it is advisable that you consult your doctor immediately.
To reduce risks associated with dizziness or lightheadedness, users are advised to rise slowly when getting up from a lying or sitting position. Remember, doctors who prescribe the tablets do so because they have determined that the benefits you are likely to get from using Viagra tablets by far outweigh the risk of getting side effects.
Sexual activity is also likely to put too much pressure on your heat. This is more likely to happen to individuals suffering heart problems. Therefore, if you are currently having heart related issues, and also having the same side effects mentioned during intercourse, stop the activity and seek medical help immediately. Some symptoms you need to watch out for include severe dizziness, chest pain, fainting, jaw pain, arm pains, or any other unusual pains.
Before taking the tablets, inform your doctor about any underlying allergies you may be having. Also, if you have previously used the tablets and you discovered you are allergic to them, let your doctor know about it and he or she will advise you accordingly. Also, tell your doctor more about your medical history particularly if you have ever suffered severe heart conditions, irregular heartbeat or even chest pains. The Viagra tablets should not be taken together with other drugs otherwise complications may arise. So, remember these important points if you wish to use the drug more effectively.
