Liquid sildenafil citrate, like its tablet form, carries potential side effects. Common reactions include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects include changes in vision (blurred vision, blue tint to vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Individuals with certain pre-existing conditions should exercise caution. Those with heart problems, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease should consult their doctor before use. Similarly, patients taking nitrates or other heart medications should avoid sildenafil completely due to the risk of dangerously low blood pressure.
Dosage is critical. Overdosing can lead to intensified side effects, including those listed above. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions. Incorrect dosage can also affect treatment efficacy.
The liquid form may interact with other medications. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking. This will help avoid potentially harmful interactions.
Allergic reactions, while uncommon, are possible. Symptoms such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical attention. Stop taking the medication and contact emergency services immediately if this occurs.
