Always inform your doctor about all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. This includes nitrates, as combining them with sildenafil can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Sildenafil can interact with certain heart medications. Discuss your heart health with your physician before using sildenafil.
If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or visual disturbances during or after taking sildenafil, seek immediate medical attention.
Avoid alcohol consumption in excess while using sildenafil, as it can potentiate side effects.
Sildenafil isn’t suitable for everyone. Pre-existing conditions like severe heart disease, low blood pressure, stroke history, or certain eye problems may preclude its use. Your doctor will assess your suitability.
The recommended dosage should be strictly followed. Do not exceed the prescribed amount or frequency.
Sildenafil’s effects can last for several hours. Plan accordingly, considering potential impact on your activities.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of priapism (prolonged erection). Sildenafil should be used with caution or avoided entirely in such cases.
Side effects such as headache, flushing, and nasal congestion are common. Most are mild and temporary, but report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor.
