Precautions

This drug is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Before taking it, you must consult with a healthcare professional to assess your cardiovascular health status. Sexual activity itself can put strain on the heart, so patients with heart disease should be particularly cautious before taking this drug. If an erection lasts for more than 4 hours after taking the medication, you must seek medical assistance immediately, as neglecting this can result in penile tissue damage and loss of erectile function. This drug should not be taken with nitrate compounds, as it can cause blood pressure to drop to dangerous levels, so patients taking nitrate medications should not use it. Patients who have recently experienced cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or unstable angina should also not take this drug. Additionally, patients with hereditary retinal disorders or allergies to the components of this drug should avoid using it. Patients with penile deformities or certain blood diseases, as well as those with severely reduced kidney or liver function, should exercise caution when taking this drug. When taken with other antihypertensive medications, blood pressure may drop too low, so healthcare professionals should be consulted. This drug can cause side effects such as headaches, dyspepsia, back pain, muscle pain, flushing, and others, and rarely, serious cardiovascular events or loss of vision and hearing have been reported. When driving or operating machinery, caution should be exercised after checking personal responses. In case of overdose, you should visit a medical institution immediately for appropriate treatment, as dialysis is not effective. This drug is not for use in children, women, or pregnant individuals. When storing, keep it out of reach of children and maintain its original packaging.
