Patients with severe liver impairment may have increased blood levels of this medication, so its use should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication. Patients with severely reduced kidney function, elderly patients, and those taking certain other medications should use this medication with caution. In particular, when used in combination with antihypertensives, PDE5 inhibitors, or CYP3A4 inhibitors, increased side effects may occur, so caution is advised. If taking alpha-1 blockers, the risk of orthostatic hypotension may increase, so it should be avoided unless absolutely necessary and given with great care. This medication may rarely cause side effects such as low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, itching, and rash. Serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions or prolonged erections may occur, so if unusual symptoms arise, consult medical personnel immediately. This medication can lower blood pressure, posing risks in case of overdose, and dizziness may occur when standing up, so one should be careful when changing positions. Activities that require attention, such as driving a car or operating hazardous machinery, should be performed with caution to avoid dizziness and other symptoms. This medication should not be chewed or opened, and must be taken exactly as directed for it to be effective. It should be stored in a safely closed container out of reach of children, and it is advisable not to transfer it to another container. Safety and efficacy have not been confirmed for use in pregnant or nursing women, and children under 18 years of age. Therefore, it is not used in these populations.
