This medication acts to dilate blood vessels and may lower blood pressure, so it can be dangerous when taken with nitrates or nitric oxide donors. Patients with cardiovascular diseases must ensure their heart condition is suitable before using this drug, and it is advisable to avoid it if there is a risk of strain on the heart. Sexual activity itself can put a strain on the heart, so patients with severe cardiovascular disease should not use this medication. Patients with very low or very high blood pressure, severe arrhythmia, or heart failure should also avoid this drug. Rarely, an erection lasting more than 4 hours may occur with this medication; in such cases, immediate medical attention is required. Especially for elderly patients or those with impaired liver or kidney function, it is safer to start with a reduced dose. This medication can interact with certain drugs, so if taking drugs like ritonavir, consult a doctor. There may be dizziness or visual disturbances when driving or operating machinery, so caution is needed. This medication cannot be taken by pregnant women, children under 18, or females. Overdose may lead to exacerbation of symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and visual disturbances, so recommended dosages must be adhered to. This drug should not be used for purposes other than treating erectile dysfunction and does not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
