Sildenafil side effects

It can be hard to disguise really valuable information among false alarms the mass media present and wide range of erroneous information spread almost everywhere. Everything new frightens people. Invention of Sildenafil changed the world. The discovery was so huge and considerable that the reaction that followed was explicable. People looked for pitfalls, as they thought that there were some hidden drawbacks and tried to reveal them.

At the same time we must be ready that some side effects have not been reported. First, not all people are conscious enough to deliver reports and, second, we are all unique and the reactions of the body are unpredictable at times. The patient should be ready for unknown side effects too.

Usually the problems emerge in the very beginning when the man begins to take Sildenafil. However, in some cases the adaptation of the body can take some time and then it can accept the changes it brings or reject the drug. The specialists advise not to buy much when you buy medications exactly for this reason. It can happen to be a vain purchase if the medication only deteriorates your condition. Millions of people use the product and get benefit from it but that does not mean that it will work for you.

The developers of the drug tested Sildenafil on 3700 patients when it was invented. 550 men took it for a year during these tests. During this procedure the researchers had to stop treatment in 2.5% of cases because of side effects.

The side effects can affect the nervous system of the person. The person feels dizziness in 2% of cases. There can be neuropathy, vertigo, insomnia, depression, tremor and even amnesia and seizures. The patient can feel anxiety too.

Cardiovascular side effects also include dizziness in 2% of patients that happen for different reason in this case. 10% of men with side effects suffer from flushing. Sildenafil affects nitric oxide/cGMP pathway so additional nitrates can dangerously decrease the blood pressure of the person. Therefore medications with nitrates are regarded contraindicated. Men can develop the following cardiovascular side effects: hypotension, heart failure, cardiac arrest, tachycardia, pain in the chest, myocardinal ischemia, etc.

Gastrointestinal side effects are revealed through dyspepsia in 7% of cases and diarrhea in 3%. Other side effects of this kind are not so widespread and include pain of abdomen, colitis, vomiting, stomatitis, gastritis, rectal hemorrhage and etc.

There are also respiratory side effects with cough and nasal congestion in 4% of cases, genitourinary side effects with urinary tract infection in 3% of cases, ocular side effects, dermatologic, metabolic, psychiatric side effects and musculoskeletal side effects.
