Side Effects Of Sildenafil & How To Reduce Them


Erectile dysfunction (ED) is commonly treated with sildenafil, an unbranded medication. The active ingredient in it is sildenafil citrate, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE 5). There are some side effects associated with sildenafil, as with any medication.


The most common side effects associated with sildenafil are mild and don't last very long, especially when it is taken for erectile dysfunction.



What Are The Most Common Side Effects Of Sildenafil?


There are several common side effects, including:

  • Hot flush on your face or body

  • Indigestion

  • Changes to vision, such as blurred vision

  • Dizziness

  • Nausea (feeling sick)

  • Headache

  • Stuffy nose



How To Reduce The Side Effects Of Sildenafil


Sildenafil should be taken as follows:

  • If you are taking other medications, especially low blood pressure medications, consult your doctor before taking it

  • Dehydration can worsen the effects of sildenafil, especially if you feel faint or dizzy while taking it.

  • If you suffer from headaches or dizziness, avoid or limit your alcohol consumption.

  • If you get a headache after taking sildenafil, take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol.

  • The amount of sildenafil you should take depends on your prescription, and taking more will increase the risk of side effects.


For sildenafil to work, you must be sexually aroused. By understanding how to get an erection, you can increase the chances of it working on your current dose. Consult your doctor if you think you need a higher dose.



Does Sildenafil Have Any Long-Term Side Effects?


There are usually no long-term side effects of sildenafil, and they are mild. After stopping the medication, the symptoms usually go away. The medication sildenafil should only be used for sexual activities when you take it for ED. As a result, you are unlikely to experience long-term side effects.


Some side effects may last for a long time in rare cases. When you get a prolonged erection that does not subside after 4 hours, this could worsen your erectile dysfunction. If this happens to you, you should seek treatment immediately. A rare side effect of sildenafil is vision problems. You may experience permanent or long-term vision changes as a result.


Consult your physician if you are concerned about the long-term side effects of sildenafil.



Am I Likely To Get Side Effects From Sildenafil?


If you take sildenafil for ED, you will likely not experience side effects. Taking too much or not taking it as prescribed increases your chances of experiencing side effects. It is possible for specific medications, such as nitrates, to interact with sildenafil. You may experience side effects from sildenafil as a result.


Your medication should be disclosed to your doctor before taking sildenafil. Your doctor can determine whether sildenafil is safe to take with other medications. Let your doctor know if your medications change while you are taking sildenafil. Speak to your doctor if you experience sildenafil side effects that do not go away or bother you.



Is Sildenafil Safe?


Most men can benefit from sildenafil as a treatment for ED. You will be asked to complete a brief medical questionnaire when ordering sildenafil through our website. A doctor will check this to make sure it is safe. Sildenafil may be unsafe for some people with certain medical conditions and medications. Another treatment may be offered in these cases.



Does Sildenafil Have Any Severe Side Effects?

  • There is a possibility that you may experience a severe allergy reaction, which will include symptoms such as breathing difficulties, dizziness, swelling in your face and mouth, and even hives

  • Dizziness, sweating, and pain in the chest are symptoms of a heart attack.

  • Numbness, confusion, and difficulty speaking are symptoms of a stroke.

  • An inflamed penis

  • Skin peeling, blistering, swelling, and blisters are all symptoms of a severe skin reaction
