What side effects have Viagra, Cialis and Levitra?
Like other medications, all those medications have side effects. Levitra may cause headaches, flushes, stuffiness in nose and running nose. Viagra may cause headache, intense blush on the face, indigestion, problems with vision (wrong color perception, object diffusion), and high light hypersensitivity. Cialis may provoke headache, muscle pain, back pain,  indigestion,  stuffiness in nose and running nose. As a rule, side effects disappear in several hours. Back and muscle pains disappear in 48 hours.

Quite rarely may occur vision disorders (seeing objects in blue color or difficulties in distinguishing blue and green colors when taking Cialis and Levitra). Viagra rarely causes such side effects.  In case of sudden loss of vision in one or in both eyes, it is necessary to stop taking the medicine and address to the doctor immediately. The problem may be connected with a disease in which blood supply of optic nerve is blocked.
