What you\u2019ll rarely find is a clear discussion of what\u2019s happening and why. Learn about muscle pain from Viagra, what you can do to help treat it, ways to reduce or eliminate it, and when to see a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why Can Viagra Cause Muscle Pain?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viagra isn\u2019t alone in causing myalgia. Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) have the same side effect, but to lesser degrees. All of these drugs are phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, preventing the action of the PDE5 enzyme, which makes it easier for blood to flow into the penis. However, this effect happens across the whole body, and these drugs act on all PDE enzymes in the body to varying degrees. This is the primary cause of side effects associated with PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How Serious is Muscle Pain from Viagra?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viagra-related muscle pain is rare. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/drugsatfda_docs\/label\/2014\/20895s039s042lbl.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FDA label for Viagra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> notes that muscle pain was only reported in 2% of clinical trial participants taking 25 or 50 milligrams and 4% in those taking 100 milligrams. Interestingly, in one trial, 2% of men taking Viagra reported <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/viagra\/back-pain-from-viagra\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">back pain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the same percentage as those taking a placebo. The pain reported was usually mild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, muscle pain will fade as the body acclimates to Viagra. Still, even a little back pain can be an unwelcome side effect, and there are ways to limit it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How Can I Stop Muscle Pain from Viagra?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36159 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs.jpg\" alt=\"doctor checking a patient's lungs\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re experiencing back pain from Viagra, or any side effect, there are steps you can take to limit it.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/doctor-checking-a-patients-lungs.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lower your dosage.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many men only need a low dose of Viagra to see results, and reducing your dosage also lowers the incidence of all side effects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Switch to a different PDE5 inhibitor.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While they all have the same basic mechanism, different ED drugs can have different side effects depending on the person.
