Important safety
information
VIAGRA has been shown to successfully
treat ED in many men. But remember, no medicine is
for everyone.
- If you use nitrate drugs,
often used to control chest pain (also known as
angina) don’t take VIAGRA. Since VIAGRA also reduces
blood pressure, your blood pressure could suddenly
drop to an unsafe or life-threatening level.
- Remember to discuss your
general health status with your doctor to ensure
that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual
activity.
- If you experience chest
pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex
or an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, seek
immediate medical help. Remember to protect yourself
and your partner from sexually transmitted diseases.
