Sildenafil troches, like other sildenafil formulations, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances such as blurry vision or sensitivity to light. These are usually mild and temporary. Less common but more serious side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden hearing loss, and heart attack or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Heart Conditions and Interactions
Individuals with heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke should discuss sildenafil use with their doctor. The medication can interact with certain medications, including nitrates (used to treat chest pain) and some alpha-blockers. This interaction can dangerously lower blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
Other Precautions
Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while using sildenafil, as it can increase its concentration in the body. Sildenafil is not intended for women or individuals under 18. Drink plenty of water to aid absorption and prevent dehydration. Store the troches as directed on the packaging. If you experience any concerning side effects, discontinue use and consult your physician immediately.
