\nUnfortunately headache is a very common side effect when taking Viagra (sildenafil) and other ED<\/abbr> tablets. You could take paracetamol or another simple pain killer, such as ibuprofen or aspirin at the same time as Viagra. Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with all medicine before taking. Apart from simple pain killers and using the minimum effective dose, there may be little else to try, except perhaps alternative tablets such as Cialis (tadalafil), or vardenafil which may produce less headache, although Cialis has a longer duration of action. If you experience cluster headaches studies conclude<\/a> low-dose vardenafil or tadalafil should be considered.<\/p>\n\n
