This medication should not be taken with nitrate drugs or NO donors that lower blood pressure, as it may cause blood pressure to drop too low; therefore, the physician must confirm whether the patient is taking such medications. Patients with cardiovascular disease should have their heart condition thoroughly evaluated before taking this medication, and it is advisable to avoid sexual activity that may strain the heart.

Patients who have had severe heart issues or strokes within the last six months, those with very low or high blood pressure, or patients with pigmentary retinopathy should not use this medication. If an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, immediate medical attention is required, as untreated cases can lead to tissue damage and permanent erectile dysfunction.

Patients with phenylketonuria should avoid this medication due to the artificial sweeteners present.
