Always inform your doctor about all your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. This includes nitrates, as combining them with Sildenafil can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Also, disclose any heart conditions, stroke history, or liver/kidney problems. These conditions might affect how your body processes Sildenafil.
Specific Health Concerns
Avoid Sildenafil if you have a history of low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Similarly, avoid it if you’ve experienced vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Sildenafil may increase the risk of experiencing this condition again. Men with retinitis pigmentosa should also exercise caution and discuss this with their doctor before use. Finally, be aware that Sildenafil may interact negatively with certain antibiotics and antifungal medications.
Consult your physician before using Sildenafil if you have a history of bleeding disorders or ulcers. Discuss any potential risks and benefits with them. Remember, Sildenafil is not suitable for everyone, and proper medical guidance is paramount.
