Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia, and proper medical evaluation is essential before use. Patients with heart disease or unstable cardiovascular conditions must consult a physician before taking this medication. As sexual activity may strain the heart, any cardiac-related symptoms that occur during or after sexual activity should be immediately reported to a doctor. This medication can rarely cause an erection lasting more than 4 hours, in which case immediate medical attention is required. This medication must not be used by patients taking nitrate medications, as it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Patients with severe cardiovascular conditions, such as myocardial infarction, unstable angina, recent stroke, or uncontrolled hypertension, are also prohibited from taking this medication. Patients with hereditary retinal disorders or allergies to any component of this medication should not use it. Combining this medication with other erectile dysfunction treatments is not recommended due to established safety concerns. Patients with a high risk of prolonged erections due to penile deformities or blood disorders should use this medication cautiously, and patients with severe renal or liver impairment should be especially careful. When used in conjunction with other medications that lower blood pressure, significant hypotension may occur, so consulting a healthcare professional is necessary. In particular, using this medication with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors could increase its blood concentrations, necessitating dosage adjustments. This medication is not for use in women, children, or newborns, and its safety during pregnancy has not been established. After taking this medication, side effects such as severe headache, dyspepsia, muscle pain, flushing, dizziness, and rarely serious cardiovascular adverse reactions or loss of vision and hearing have been reported. It does not greatly affect driving or operating machinery, but caution should be exercised as dizziness may occur in some individuals. In case of overdose, immediate medical attention should be sought, as blood dialysis is ineffective for the removal of this medication. Store this medication out of reach of children and maintain it in its original packaging to preserve its effectiveness.
