The 5 Weirdest Side Effects of Sildenafil"},"content":{"rendered":"

Most men who take Viagra notice no side effects, or perhaps a slight stuffy nose or headache. Fortunately, dangerous side effects of Viagra are extremely rare. But you should still know what they are, so read on to find out.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First of all, yes, most likely you are 100% safe when taking Viagra.\u00a0 Don’t forget, Viagra had to be tested first on animals, then on humans, and then submit to the stringent requirements of the Food and Drug Administration…and that’s just to be sold in America.\u00a0 Pfizer had to repeat the process with every country that it wanted to sell Viagra in.\u00a0 So Viagra has been heavily tested and proven to be safe in the vast majority of cases, and there are only a handful of incidents where somebody has suffered a serious problem while taking Viagra correctly, out of millions of men actually taking it.<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s possible to take it in<\/em>correctly.\u00a0 Due to Viagra’s nature, namely opening up blood vessels, it can cause damage if you don’t listen to your doctor.\u00a0 If you have low blood pressure, eye trouble, or liver problems, you should talk to your doctor before taking Viagra.\u00a0 There’s no substitute for common sense and reading the label before taking any drug.\u00a0 With Viagra, and any other prescription medication, read the literature and understand what it does to your body, and put your health before your ego.\u00a0 You can’t impress the ladies if you’re being hauled away in an ambulance to pay your doctor to scold you.<\/p>\n

Of course, even for people who can use it, there are…unusual side effects sometimes.\u00a0 Here are some of them.<\/p>\n

Nasal Congestion<\/h3>\n

Yes, Viagra may make you warm in certain areas…but it can give you a seeming cold in others.\u00a0 Due to Viagra’s potent effects as a vasodilator, it opens up all sorts of tubes…including the ones that put out mucus.\u00a0 So, even while you’re feeling stirring below the belt, you’ll be feeling something far less pleasant above it.<\/p>\n

So, when taking Viagra, have some tissues handy and thoroughly blow your nose.\u00a0 Or, at least, breath through your mouth so you don’t distract your partner.<\/p>\n

Facial Swelling<\/h3>\n

Viagra dilates blood vessels, bringing blood rushing to the fore in the place you want it most.\u00a0 But, since they can’t exactly precisely target these kinds of drugs, blood will also go rushing to the fore everywhere else.<\/p>\n

Usually this just means you’ll flush red for a little while, but it can also lead to swelling of the face, limbs, and other body parts.\u00a0 See, not all swelling is…uh…swell.<\/p>\n

Cyanopsia<\/h3>\n

What, precisely, is cyanopsia? It sounds gross.\u00a0 It sounds scary.\u00a0 Fortunately, it’s neither.<\/p>\n

Cyanopsia is, simply, a blue tint to your vision.\u00a0 It’s not the only side effect involving your vision, which can include increased light sensitivity and loss of peripheral vision, but it’s definitely the strangest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
One very rare side effect of Viagra is seeing a bluish tint.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

So essentially everything looks bluer for a few hours.\u00a0 No, that’s not why they made the pill blue, smart-alec.<\/p>\n

Priapism<\/h3>\n

Yes, we know, we know, getting a rise out of yourself is exactly why you take Viagra in the first place.\u00a0 We’re not saying that’s a bad thing.\u00a0 It’s just that generally, when you’re done with your erection, it has the common courtesy to go away.<\/p>\n

Priapism means it doesn’t.\u00a0 And while having a permanent boner may sound great now, after four hours of increasing pain and damage to your penis, it’s not going to seem so great.\u00a0 Priapism is actually defined as a medical emergency and gets you immediate treatment.\u00a0 Besides, if it gets bad enough, they\u00a0 have to surgically install shunts, which is as bad as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Hearing Loss<\/h3>\n

Yep, hearing loss.<\/p>\n

What makes this strange is that it also includes Levitra and Cialis, and blindsided everybody from the FDA to the independent scientists studying the drugs to the drugmakers themselves.\u00a0 But, apparently, take Viagra for a few weeks and you may have temporary or even permanent hearing loss if you’re really unlucky.<\/p>\n

It’s rare, but it’s a reminder that even the most stringent tests done by the best minds can’t anticipate everything.\u00a0 So take Viagra only as the doctor recommends, and talk to your doctor about any unusual effects.\u00a0 There’s no point in trying to have fun if you hurt yourself doing it.<\/p>\n

In summary, Viagra is safe for most men, and it is extremely effective at relieving ED. If you’re interested in trying Viagra, we invite you to visit eDrugstore.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
