How to take Viagra

before sexual activity (about one hour before is most effective). Take
only as directed, usually once daily as needed. Sildenafil works along
with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection.

Headache, flushing, stomach upset, nasal stuffiness, diarrhea and dizziness
might occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.

allergies (especially drug allergies), any penis conditions such as fibrosis/scarring,
history of painful/prolonged erection (priapism), sickle cell anemia, blood
system cancers (such as leukemia or myeloma), or Peyronie's disease, eye
problems (retina diseases). kidney or liver disease, bleeding disorders
or active stomach ulcers, heart diseases, stroke or severe high or low
blood pressure. Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate side effects
of Viagra. To avoid dizziness and lightheadedness when rising from a seated
or lying position, get up slowly. The elderly may be more sensitive to
the side effects of Viagra, therefore caution is advised in this group.
