While generally well-tolerated, 25 mg sildenafil can cause side effects. The most common include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light. These effects are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Before taking sildenafil, inform your doctor about your medical history, particularly if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke. Also disclose any other medications you’re taking, as interactions are possible.
Avoid alcohol consumption while using sildenafil, as it can intensify side effects. Grapefruit juice also interacts negatively; avoid it.
Sildenafil isn’t suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use it. Men with certain eye conditions should also avoid it. Your doctor will assess your suitability.
The recommended dosage is typically 25 mg, but your doctor might adjust it depending on your individual needs and response. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
If you experience any unexpected or concerning side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately. They can provide personalized advice and address any concerns.
