Precautions

This drug is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and the cause of erectile dysfunction should be accurately diagnosed through patient history and physical examination before use. It may put a strain on the heart during sexual activity, so patients with cardiovascular disease should exercise special caution, and if any heart-related symptoms occur during sexual activity, use should be stopped immediately and a doctor should be consulted. If an erection lasts more than 4 hours, immediate medical assistance should be sought, as untreated cases may lead to permanent damage. This medication should not be taken with nitrate agents, as it may cause dangerously low blood pressure; therefore, it should not be administered to patients taking nitrate agents. Patients who have recently experienced serious cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or stroke should not use this medication. Use with caution in patients with significantly impaired liver or kidney function, and when used with specific antihypertensive agents, caution is advised, as symptoms of low blood pressure may occur.

During the use of this drug, sudden vision loss or hearing loss may occur; if these symptoms appear, stop taking the medication immediately and notify a doctor.

Taking this medication with alcohol may exacerbate blood pressure lowering and dizziness, so excessive drinking should be avoided. It is not to be used in pregnant women or children, and while driving or operating machinery does not typically require special caution, it is advisable to assess individual reactions. In the case of overdose, standard treatment should be provided, and hemodialysis is ineffective, so care should be taken.
