This medication should not be administered to certain patients. Firstly, patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication or its components should not use it. Additionally, patients with orthostatic hypotension may experience worsened symptoms, so it should not be given to them. Patients with severely impaired liver function may also have elevated blood concentrations of this medication and should not be treated with it. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not use this medication. This medication should be used cautiously in some patients. Patients with severely impaired kidney function may have increased blood concentrations of this medication, necessitating careful monitoring. Elderly patients require special attention, and potential interactions with other medications being taken must be considered. Particularly, patients taking PDE5 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inhibitors, and antihypertensives should exercise caution as side effects such as hypotension may occur when used together. Patients currently taking alpha-1 blockers should generally avoid this medication, but if absolutely necessary, it must be administered with great caution. Patients with a history of urinary syncope also need to be careful when using this medication. This medication may cause various side effects, including abdominal discomfort, upper abdominal pain, dizziness, diarrhea, indigestion, headaches, and more. Sometimes allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, and hives may occur, so if these symptoms appear, use should be immediately discontinued. Syncope or loss of consciousness due to low blood pressure may occur, so symptoms should be monitored closely. Additionally, although rare, prolonged erections may occur, and if such symptoms persist, it is important to consult a healthcare professional promptly. This medication can lower blood pressure, so care should be taken not to overdose, and particularly when getting up, it is advisable to move slowly as blood pressure may drop. Care should also be taken when driving or operating hazardous machinery, as symptoms such as dizziness may arise. This medication is for symptomatic relief rather than cause treatment, so if ineffective, other treatment options should be considered. This medication is not recommended for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or children under 18, as its safety and efficacy have not been established. In elderly patients, especially those with severely impaired kidney function, caution is warranted due to insufficient verification of safety. This medication should be taken out of its packaging for consumption, and if in sustained-release form, it should be swallowed whole without chewing. It must be stored out of reach of children, and care should be taken not to transfer it to another container as this may risk quality deterioration or accidents. Lastly, this medication may interact with other drugs, so if you are taking other medications, you must inform your healthcare provider. Particularly when combined with antihypertensives, PDE5 inhibitors, or CYP3A4 inhibitors, there may be an increased risk of side effects such as hypotension, so caution is needed.
