Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and requires a doctor's diagnosis and physical examination before use. Sexual activity can put stress on the heart, so patients with cardiovascular diseases should take special caution. This medication can rarely cause an erection that lasts more than 4 hours; in this case, immediate medical assistance should be sought, as untreated can lead to penile tissue damage and loss of erection ability. Taking this medication together with nitrate or NO donors can lead to dangerously low blood pressure, so patients who are on these medications should not use this drug. Patients with cardiovascular diseases or a history of recent myocardial infarction, stroke, or those with hereditary retinal diseases should not use this medication. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established when used with other erectile dysfunction treatments. Patients with severely impaired kidney or liver function, or those taking certain blood pressure medications require careful assessment by a doctor before using this drug. Side effects such as dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, back pain, muscle pain, flushing may occur, and in severe cases, immediate consultation with medical personnel is advised. If there are sudden changes in vision or hearing, discontinue the medication and seek immediate medical attention. This medication is not permitted for use during pregnancy, or by children or women. This medication does not significantly affect driving or machine operation, but individual differences may require caution. In case of overdose, standard medical treatment should be received, and the drug is not removed by dialysis, so caution is necessary. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and stored in its original packaging.
