Viagra is a male impotence drug developed by Pfizer Inc. As with any drug, Viagra can have side effects too. One of the side effects of Viagra is headaches. However, the side effects appear only in a small percentage of patients. Another common side effect of Viagra is facial flushing and indigestion.

Viagra should be taken only when you have an impotence problem and not for fun.

In a trial where the drug was tested on a variety of conditions, Viagra caused headaches in 16% of patients. So Viagra side effect headaches are the most common side effects.

To reduce the Viagra side effect headaches you can try to reduce the dosage and timing. Experiment with it for a while and see if it brings relief.

You may also consider to abandon Viagra completely and look for alternatives. There are other options which do not have headaches as side effects like L-arginine for example.
