Generally, higher doses of Viagra (100mg) increase the likelihood of side effects. This doesn’t mean a 50mg dose is entirely side-effect free, however. Common side effects for both dosages include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More Severe Side Effects
More serious side effects, though rare, are vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinted vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). These warrant immediate medical attention. The risk of these severe side effects may increase slightly with the 100mg dose, highlighting the importance of starting with a lower dosage and consulting your doctor.
Dosage Adjustments
Your doctor will help determine the appropriate dose based on your individual health and medical history. If you experience significant side effects at 100mg, a 50mg dose may be more suitable. Conversely, if 50mg proves ineffective, your doctor might consider adjusting the dosage or exploring alternative treatments.
