Viagra has been a godsend for many men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. It has saved many marriages that had begun to lose their passion and has put the spark back into many failing relationships. However, if you are thinking about starting to use Viagra, there are some important things that you need to know.

A doctor that knows your medical history will be able to tell you if there are any precautions that you should take, or if a different medication would be better for you to use.

Here are some excellent Tips for you that you should share with your Doctor before using Viagra:

Have experienced a painful erection in the past, lasting six hours or longer (this is known as priapism)

Suffer from Peyronie’s disease, cavernosal fibrosis, angulation, or any other disease that causes deformation of the penis

Have any allergies

Serious side effects while taking Viagra are rare, but it is important to know what they are. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Severe allergic reaction to the drug indicated by any itching, hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the mouth, face, lips or tongue, or a feeling of tightness in the chest.

Chest pain

Fainting or feeling light headed

These side effects are very rare, but it is worth taking note of them so that you will know what to look for and be ready to call your doctor if you experience and of the above mentioned complications.

There are also more common side effects associated with taking Viagra, and you are more likely to experience:

Headaches

Heartburn

Diarrhea

Dizziness

You should also not take Viagra with any other medication used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, as it could cause complications. Also if you take any form of nitrates you should not be taking Viagra as well. These two drugs won’t generally harm you when you use them alone, but taken together, they could lower you blood pressure to a dangerous level. There are many prescription drugs that contain nitrates, so if you are on any other form of medication, you will need to ask your doctor about any possible drug interactions before taking Viagra.

Knowing the risks involved with taking a prescription drug like Viagra is always a wise idea. If you know what to expect, you can avoid problems and get the help you need if there are any complications.
