Precautions

This medication can cause a significant drop in blood pressure if taken with nitrate drugs, so it is essential to inform your doctor before taking this medication if you are currently using nitrate preparations. Patients with heart disease should have their cardiac status thoroughly checked before using this medication, and sexual activity should not be recommended if there is a risk to the heart; therefore, this medication should not be used either. As this medication can dilate blood vessels and temporarily lower blood pressure, patients with cardiovascular diseases should exercise particular caution when engaging in sexual activity. Patients with heart rhythm abnormalities, heart failure, unstable angina, low or high blood pressure, and patients with certain eye diseases should take special care when using this medication. If an erection lasts more than 4 hours, immediate medical attention should be sought, as untreated cases can lead to permanent damage.

Patients with penile deformities, bleeding disorders, peptic ulcers, the elderly, patients with severe renal or hepatic failure, and those taking certain medications should use this medication with caution. This medication may cause side effects such as headache, facial flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, dizziness, visual disturbances, and most of these are temporary and mild symptoms.
