Viagra, medically known as sildenafil, is a medication used to treat male erectile dysfunction. Long-term or excessive use of sildenafil may lead to the following risks: 1. Cardiovascular risks: Sildenafil can dilate blood vessels, potentially causing a drop in blood pressure. This is particularly dangerous for individuals with existing cardiovascular diseases and may lead to angina, myocardial infarction, or fainting. 2. Vision problems: Excessive use may cause blurred vision, visual color disturbances, and in severe cases, permanent vision loss. 3. Hearing problems: It may cause hearing impairment, including temporary or even permanent hearing loss. 4. Headache and indigestion: Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and stomach discomfort. These symptoms may worsen with overdose. Note: If persistent or severe side effects occur, seek immediate medical attention.
