Precautions

This medication is for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and before use, a physician must accurately diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction through the patient's medical history and physical examination.

If any heart-related symptoms occur during sexual activity, it should be immediately stopped, and a doctor should be consulted. This medication can rarely cause an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), which requires immediate medical attention. If untreated, it can lead to penile tissue damage or permanent erectile dysfunction.
