Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia, and a physician's evaluation is required before use. Patients with heart diseases or a recent history of myocardial infarction, angina, or stroke may be at risk if taking this medication. If cardiovascular symptoms occur while taking this medication, sexual activity should be stopped immediately and a doctor consulted. If an erection lasts more than 4 hours, it is essential to visit a hospital immediately, as untreated, it may lead to penile tissue damage and loss of erectile function. This medication must not be taken simultaneously with nitrates or NO donors as it can cause dangerously low blood pressure. Patients on alpha-blockers or antihypertensives should use caution and consult a doctor due to the risk of blood pressure drop. Additionally, this medication is not administered to patients with certain genetic disorders or hypersensitivity to any component. It is not for use in pregnant women, nursing mothers, women, or children. Side effects such as headaches, dyspepsia, back pain, muscle aches, flushing may occur, and if severe adverse symptoms arise, medical personnel should be informed immediately. Although this medication does not significantly affect driving or operating machinery, dizziness may occur in some individuals. In case of overdose, standard emergency treatment should be provided, as blood dialysis is not effective in removing this medication.
