Suggest Side Effects Of Viagra

Hi I took Viagra for the first time last week. I noticed the next day or so i developed 4 to 5 (in cluster) blisters that look like herpes on my penis. I noticed on the Viagra website sometimes you may have side effects of Herpes simplex. I havent been with anyone else for over 14 years. Do I have herpes or is this just side effects from Viagra which mask herpes?

Hi,

Viagra (sildenafil) is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. Like all medications, it can have side effects. Some of the common side effects of Viagra include headache, dizziness, flushing, indigestion, and nasal congestion. However, blisters that look like herpes are not a known side effect of Viagra.

It is important to see a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the blisters. Herpes simplex is a viral infection that can cause blisters on the genitals or mouth. Other conditions, such as allergic reactions or skin irritations, can also cause blisters.

If you are concerned about the blisters, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider for an evaluation. They may order tests, such as a blood test or a swab of the blisters, to determine the cause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
