Higher doses, like 100mg, increase the likelihood of side effects. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More severe, though rare, side effects can include vision changes (blurred vision, sensitivity to light), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
A 50mg dose generally produces fewer side effects. However, the optimal dose varies significantly based on individual factors like age, overall health, and the presence of other medical conditions or medications. Always consult your doctor to determine the right dosage for you.
Both dosages carry risks. Individuals with heart problems or a history of stroke should exercise extreme caution and discuss their options thoroughly with their physician before taking Viagra.
Remember: Viagra is a prescription medication, and self-medicating is dangerous. Improper usage can lead to serious health consequences. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
