Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Before use, the patient's heart condition must be confirmed, and caution is advised if there is a risk of complications from sexual activity in individuals with cardiovascular diseases. If an erection persists for more than 4 hours after taking this medication, immediate medical assistance should be sought, as untreated erections can lead to penile tissue damage or loss of potency. Taking this drug in conjunction with nitrate compounds or NO donors can dangerously lower blood pressure; therefore, patients on these medications should not use this drug. It should not be administered to patients with recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, stroke, uncontrolled hypertension, or hypotension. It should not be used by patients with hereditary retinal diseases or those with hypersensitivity to any components of this drug. Using this medication with other erectile dysfunction treatments is not recommended due to unconfirmed safety. Patients with severely impaired kidney or liver function, as well as those taking alpha blockers or antihypertensives, should be administered this medication under careful medical supervision. This drug may cause side effects such as headache, dyspepsia, back pain, muscle pain, flushing, and dizziness, and rare but serious cardiovascular adverse reactions or visual and auditory disturbances have been reported. If sudden loss of vision or hearing occurs during use, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. This medication should not be used in pregnant women or children, and while there is generally no special impact on driving or machinery operation, caution is advised as individual dizziness may occur. In case of overdose, standard treatment should be administered, and blood dialysis does not affect the elimination of this drug. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and stored in its original packaging.
