Stop taking the medication immediately and contact your doctor or healthcare provider. Describe your symptoms clearly and accurately, including when they started and their severity. This allows your doctor to assess the situation and provide appropriate guidance.
Common Side Effects and Their Management
Some common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. For mild symptoms, consider drinking plenty of water and resting. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor. More serious side effects, such as chest pain, sudden vision changes, or prolonged erection (priapism), require immediate medical attention. Dial emergency services or go to the nearest hospital.
Seeking Medical Advice
Your doctor can discuss alternative treatments if needed. They may recommend a different medication, dosage adjustment, or suggest lifestyle changes to manage side effects. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and honestly report any side effects, no matter how minor they may seem.
