How to lessen side effects with Viagra?

Viagra's harmless side effects are common and well-known. Many users report headache, nasal congestion, facial flushing, or upset stomach.

The most important thing you can do to lessen side effects is take as low a dose as possible. The higher the dose, the more likely you are to experience side effects. So if you are bothered by side effects, experiment with your dosage. Many men find success with 25mg or even less.

Our readers have suggested many other ways to limit side effects. Many men take the pill with a big glass of water. Others, who consistently experience a certain side effect, will take a preventative medicine ahead of time. So men who always get a headache when they take Viagra might take a Tylenol ahead of time to lessen the effect.

You can also experiment whether you take it on a full or empty stomach. Some men find that abstaining from alcohol can increase effectiveness and so require a lower dose; in that way, they can reduce side effects as well.

Of course, if you experience more serious side effects, like dizziness, fainting, vision difficulties, etc. you should contact your doctor immediately.
