This medication should not be used in certain patients. Patients who have had an allergy to this drug or its components, patients with symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, patients with severe liver impairment, and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not be administered this medication. It should be used cautiously in patients with severe renal impairment, the elderly, and those taking PDE5 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inhibitors, or antihypertensive medications. In particular, patients taking alpha-1 blockers or with a history of urinary syncope should preferably not be given this medication, but if necessary, it should only be administered with caution. This medication can lower blood pressure, potentially causing dizziness or fainting. Symptoms should be closely monitored during use, and if any unusual symptoms occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and medical attention sought. Symptoms such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, insomnia, decreased libido, tachycardia, hypotension, and arrhythmia may occur. Adverse reactions such as skin rash, itching, and urticaria may also occur, and if such symptoms arise, use should be discontinued. Gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, appetite loss, diarrhea, and constipation may occur. Liver dysfunction or jaundice symptoms may also develop, and liver function should be closely monitored, stopping the medication if abnormalities arise. In addition, various adverse reactions such as throat burning sensation, nasal obstruction, edema, gynecomastia, priapism, and visual disturbances have been reported. There is a risk of significantly lowering blood pressure in case of overdose, so the dosage must be strictly adhered to. When taking this medication, blood pressure may drop upon sudden standing up, so it is advisable to rise slowly. While this medication helps alleviate symptoms, it is not a fundamental treatment method, so if it proves ineffective, other treatment options should be considered. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so caution is advised when driving or performing hazardous tasks. Benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer present similar symptoms, thus it is essential to confirm the absence of prostate cancer prior to administration. This medication may rarely induce priapism; if this symptom occurs, immediate notification to a physician is necessary. Patients scheduled for ophthalmic surgery should inform the doctor of this medication use due to the potential risk of eye complications during the operation. Patients with an allergy to sulfonamide drugs must use this medication with caution. The risk of hypotension may increase if this drug is taken with antihypertensives or PDE5 inhibitors, so consultation with a physician is recommended. Concomitant use with certain antibiotics, antifungals, or antidepressants may increase drug concentrations and should be approached with caution. This medication has not established safety and efficacy in women and pediatric patients under 18 years of age, therefore it is not used in these populations. The elderly may have reduced renal function, so starting at a low dose and adjusting based on condition is advisable. When taking, remove the medication from the PTP pack and swallow the capsule whole without chewing it.
