Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and should be used only after receiving a proper diagnosis and physical examination by a physician. Engaging in sexual activity can put stress on the heart, so consult a physician before use if you have cardiovascular disease. If an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, immediate medical attention is required to prevent damage to the penile tissue and permanent erectile dysfunction. This medication should not be taken with nitrate medications as it may cause excessive drops in blood pressure. Patients with serious cardiovascular conditions such as myocardial infarction, angina, or stroke, or who have recently experienced such symptoms, should not use this medication. Patients with hereditary retinal disorders or hypersensitivity to this drug should also avoid usage. Co-administration with other erectile dysfunction treatments is not recommended due to unverified safety and efficacy. Patients with severely impaired kidney or liver function should use this medication with caution, as the risk of side effects may increase when combined with alpha-blockers or certain antifungal medications. Side effects may include headache, dyspepsia, back pain, muscle pain, flushing, and more. Rarely, severe cardiovascular reactions or vision and hearing issues have been reported. If there is sudden loss of vision or hearing during use, stop taking the drug immediately and consult a physician. Caution should be exercised when taking this drug with alcohol, as it may lead to hypotension or dizziness. Not for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women or children. In cases of overdose, standard treatment should be sought, and dialysis does not affect the clearance of this medication. Store out of reach of children and keep in the original packaging.
