Revatio 20mg, like all medications, carries potential side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less frequent, but still possible, are dizziness, visual disturbances, and changes in blood pressure. Always report any unusual or concerning symptoms to your doctor immediately. Severe side effects are rare, but seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Drug Interactions
Revatio interacts with several medications. Specifically, avoid combining it with nitrates (used to treat chest pain) as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Also, alpha-blockers, used to treat high blood pressure and enlarged prostate, can increase the risk of low blood pressure when taken with Revatio. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking to minimize potential interactions. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and even seemingly innocuous supplements.
Further Advice
Before starting Revatio, discuss your medical history, including any pre-existing conditions, with your physician. They can help determine if Revatio is appropriate for you and monitor for any potential adverse effects. Regular check-ups are recommended to assess treatment effectiveness and address any concerns.
