What are the possible side effects of Viagra and Cialis?

Made famous by their seemingly miraculous ability to restore erections to men who had thought there was just no hope, Viagra and Cialis may not be the safest remedy for every man, and should be used with caution. As with any medication, it is important to consult one’s physician before beginning dosage. Because of serious negative consequences arriving from drug interactions, Viagra and Cialis have been reported to produce unsavory side effects in select patients.

In conjunction with any of a long list of nitrate-contain drugs, as well as others, the use of Viagra and Cialis could have the effect of drastically reducing a man’s blood pressure, something that could lead to serious complications.

Although the chances are slim, using these erection producing drugs could lead to Priapism, a condition marked by a painful erection sustained for longer than four hours that should be attended to immediately by emergency care physicians. Another possible condition that could be set off as a side effect of using Viagra or Cialis is Angina. This phenomenon causes symptoms in the neck, chest, jaw and the arms by tightening things up or making the body tingle in a strange manner.

If a Viagra or Cialis user experiences anything like this during sexual intercourse, he should stop right away and call a doctor. Death has been associated with the use of these medications. Other negative side effects that should signal the medication user to stop sexual activity include nausea and dizziness. Such occurrences could be warning signs that these impotence remedies are not right for the affected user.

Headaches and the flushing of the face are also commonly reported. One very bizarre and occasionally reported side effect of sildenfal (Viagra) is the appearance of blue-colored images in the user’s vision. Some men even report seeing everything cast with a bluish tint while the drug is in their system.
