Before taking this medication, it is crucial to discuss with your doctor if you are using any nitrate-containing products or NO donors. Taking this drug together with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Patients with cardiovascular disease should have their heart condition adequately evaluated before using this medication; sexual activity is not recommended if their heart condition is poor. This drug can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure; thus, patients with cardiovascular diseases should carefully monitor for potential adverse effects. Patients with cardiac rhythm disorders, heart failure, unstable angina, low blood pressure, or uncontrolled high blood pressure are advised against using this drug. If an erection lasts for more than 4 hours, immediate medical attention should be sought, as untreated prolonged erections can damage penile tissue and cause loss of erectile function. Specific heart conditions or severely impaired blood pressure regulation may increase sensitivity to this drug, requiring caution. When combined with certain antivirals, the concentration of this drug in the blood may significantly increase, necessitating dosage adjustments. Patients allergic to this drug or its components should not take it. Patients who regularly or intermittently use nitrate drugs should avoid this medication. Those with cardiovascular diseases where sexual activity is not recommended, severe liver failure, individuals under 18 years of age, and women should not use this drug. Caution is also warranted in patients with specific eye disorders or when used in conjunction with other erectile dysfunction therapies. Elderly patients or those with renal failure or liver failure should start with a lower dose, as the risk of adverse effects is higher. After taking this drug, headaches, flushing, dyspepsia, dizziness, changes in vision may occur; patients should consult their doctor if symptoms are severe or persistent. Caution is necessary when driving or operating machinery due to potential visual disturbances or dizziness. This medication does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases, therefore, additional measures for safe sex are required. Overdose may lead to worsening symptoms, so it is imperative to adhere to the recommended dosage; in case of overdose, immediate medical attention is required.
