Viagra Precautions

fibrosis/scarring (e.g., Peyronie's disease), history of painful/prolonged
erection (priapism), sickle cell anemia, blood system cancers (such as
leukemia or myeloma), eye problems (retina diseases), kidney or liver
disease, bleeding disorders, active stomach ulcers, heart disease, stroke,
very high or low blood pressure. Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate
side effects of this drug. Since VIAGRA may cause dizziness, caution is
advised when performing tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving). To
avoid dizziness and lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying
position, get up slowly. VIAGRA is not to be used in women or children.
The elderly may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug,
therefore caution is advised in this group.
