Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Before using this medication, a thorough diagnosis and evaluation by a physician are necessary, especially if there are heart diseases or blood pressure issues.

This medication may cause prolonged erections lasting more than 4 hours or painful erections; if such symptoms occur, immediate medical assistance should be sought. Significant drops in blood pressure can occur when taken with nitrates or NO donors, so this medication must not be used if those medications are being taken. Dosing adjustments or cautious use is required in patients with severe kidney or liver impairment or when used concomitantly with certain antihypertensives.
