Inspect your Viagra pills carefully. Changes in appearance are key indicators of spoilage.
Changes in Physical Appearance
- Color alteration: The pills should retain their original color. Significant fading, discoloration, or spotting suggests degradation. Texture changes: Look for crumbling, cracking, or a change in hardness. Viagra pills should maintain a consistent texture. Unusual odor: A musty, sour, or otherwise unpleasant smell is a clear sign of spoilage. Fresh Viagra has a slight, almost imperceptible odor.
Other Indicators
Expiration Date: Check the expiration date printed on the packaging. Using expired medication is risky. Storage Conditions: Improper storage (extreme temperatures, high humidity) significantly reduces the effectiveness and shelf life of medication. Packaging Integrity: Damaged blister packs or containers compromise the integrity of the medication and increase the risk of spoilage.
If you notice any of these signs, discard the medication immediately. Do not attempt to use expired or visibly spoiled Viagra. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice on replacing your prescription.
When to Seek Medical Attention
While Viagra spoilage generally doesn’t cause immediate severe reactions, experience any unusual side effects after taking the medication, seek medical advice at once.
