Uprima is a medication used for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction or ED. Erectile dysfunction is a condition in which a man cannot achieve an erection sufficient enough for intercourse. As a result, the body increases the production of dopamine, an important chemical in the body that helps trigger erection.

Uprima, like all medications, may cause side effects. These side effects are generally mild in nature. In most cases they do not require you to quit treatment as a result. Common side effects of Uprima are nausea, headache, dizziness, yawning, sleepiness, infection, sore throat, pain, increased cough, rhinitis, flushing, taste disorder and/or sweating.

In very rare incidences after using Uprima fainting might occur. If you feel faint, lie down and raise your legs. This should help alleviate any symptoms of faintness. If you experience chest pains during intercourse, stop immediately and contact your doctor. If prolonged side effects from Uprima occur or if you experience any one of the previous symptoms, stop Uprima treatment and consult with your doctor immediately.

In clinical trials the most common side effects reported with Uprima were headaches, dizziness, and nausea, which occurred in less than 7% of patients.
