This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and must be taken only after confirmation of the underlying cause through a doctor's diagnosis and physical examination. Patients with cardiovascular disease need to be cautious as it may increase the burden on the heart during sexual activity; if cardiovascular symptoms arise during sexual activity, they should stop immediately and consult a doctor. Rarely, this medication may cause an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), in which case immediate medical attention is required, as untreated cases may lead to penile tissue damage and loss of erectile function. Taking it simultaneously with nitrate compounds or nitric oxide donors may lead to a significant drop in blood pressure, so patients on these medications should not use this product. Patients with a history of serious cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, unstable angina, ventricular arrhythmia, or stroke should not take this drug, and sexual activity itself is not recommended for these patients. This drug may cause changes in sperm count or concentration in some patients, but there is no clinically significant impact, and there is no change in sperm motility or morphology. Patients with specific heart diseases, such as left ventricular outflow obstruction, may be sensitive to the vasodilatory effects of this medication and should use it cautiously. This medication is contraindicated in patients taking organic nitrates, those at high cardiovascular risk, patients with certain liver and kidney impairments, genetic retinal disease patients, and those with hypersensitivity. Combining it with other erectile dysfunction treatments is not recommended as safety and efficacy have not been established, and patients with lactose intolerance should avoid taking it. This medication may lead to a more significant drop in blood pressure when used with alpha-blockers; therefore, co-administration should be avoided or used with extreme caution. Common side effects may include headache, dyspepsia, back pain, myalgia, flushing, limb pain, dizziness, rhinitis, upper respiratory infection, cough, diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux disease, abdominal pain, hypertension, itching, decreased hemoglobin, drowsiness, insomnia, paraesthesia, thrombocytopenia, increased blood urea nitrogen, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, facial swelling, heartburn, epistaxis, conjunctivitis, eye pain, increased tear production, eyelid swelling, and auditory disturbances. Rarely reported serious adverse reactions include hives, severe swelling (edema), chest tightness, difficulty breathing, cold sweats, pallor, severe rash with fever, blisters, skin peeling, pain in mucous membranes of the mouth/eyes, difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, asthma attacks, respiratory difficulties with cough and fever, yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice), feeling very lethargic, sudden and severe headache, thunderclap headache, seizures, mental confusion, visual disturbances, paralysis, and urination issues. Taking this medication with alcohol can increase the risk of lower blood pressure and dizziness, so caution is required. In case of overdose, standard treatment should be provided; dialysis does not significantly affect the elimination of this medication. This medication is not for use in children, women, or newborns, and its safety in pregnant women has not been established. It does not greatly affect the ability to drive or operate machinery, but it is safe to perform such activities after checking individual response. This drug can be taken regardless of meals, and it is important to consult with a doctor about one’s health condition and all medications being taken before and after use.
