How to get rid of red face from Viagra

These famous blue pills help some guys when they’re getting busy in the bedroom, but going bright red isn’t exactly a turn-on. 

We know that millions of men use Viagra to handle their erectile dysfunction (3 million in the USA in just 1 year to be specific).

So, we’re here to explain how to get great boners without the blushing. 

How to stop red face from Viagra 

Although not everyone who takes Viagra will go red in the face, there’s no way to guarantee avoiding or stopping red face (also known as facial flushing or redness) when you’re on medication for erectile dysfunction (ED).

However, if you want to reduce red face from Viagra you could try:

• Taking a lower dose of the ED pill
• Avoiding alcohol when you’re using ED pills
• Resting
• Taking deep breaths
• Applying a cool cloth to the face

But the best way to avoid redness is to (drumroll, please) stop taking ED pills altogether. 

We know that it can be daunting to have pill-free sex if your erections aren’t as reliable as you’d like. But if you can’t stand having a red face, there may be other ED treatments for you. 

Mojo is here to help you achieve your sexual potential if your erection issues have a psychological element to them (which is pretty likely, Amanda tells us). 

“My experience as a psychosexual therapist has shown me that most men have a psychological component to their ED, regardless of whether the problem first started as a physical or a psychological issue.”

Does Viagra cause red face?

If you’re here, you probably already know – yes, Viagra can cause your face to go red.

Viagra contains sildenafil, which is just one of many erectile dysfunction medications. It’s a PDE5 inhibitor, like Cialis (tadalafil), Stendra (avanafil), Levitra, and Staxyn (vardenafil). These medications are all part of the same group and they’re all used to help guys with ED. 

“Some men find PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra helpful – but, as with most medications, there can be multiple side effects.”

When it comes to Viagra, a red face isn’t the only side effect. You might also experience: 

• Headaches 
• Heartburn
• Blue-tinged vision
• Diarrhea
• Nose bleeds
• Sleep problems
• Light sensitivity
• Aching muscles
• Numbness or tingling in your arms, legs, hands, and feet
• Nausea
• Blocked nose and congestion
• Upset stomach

More serious side-effects of Viagra include:

• Low blood pressure
• Nausea
• Ringing in your ears or sudden loss of hearing 
• Blurred vision or sudden loss of vision
• Cardiovascular issues like a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and chest pain (these ones usually only apply to people with pre-existing heart problems)
• Burning or itching when you pee
• Fainting
• A rash
• Shortness of breath
• Priapism (an erection that lasts over four hours, and not in a good way)

If you’re looking for a treatment for erectile dysfunction with no physical side effects, Mojo can help.

Why does Viagra make my face red?

“PDE5 inhibitors are vasodilators (which means they relax your blood vessels). This increases blood flow around the body. The goal is to help blood flow more easily into the penis. But the blood vessels in your face can also relax and dilate, and this is why you might look red and flushed.”

Dr Ramesh Krishnan, Urologist

Boners and blushing are both the result of increased blood flow. So, the two can go hand-in-hand when it comes to ED pills.
