Varoitukset

Sildenafil carries several warnings that users should be aware of. It should never be used in combination with nitrate-based medications or nitric oxide donors, as this can cause a dangerously low blood pressure. Patients with serious heart conditions, severe liver or kidney impairment, or those who have recently had a heart attack or stroke should consult a doctor before using sildenafil.

Special caution is advised for individuals taking alpha-blockers or antihypertensives due to the increased risk of hypotension. Side effects such as headache, dizziness, flushing, or visual disturbances may occur. In the case of a prolonged erection (more than 4 hours) or sudden loss of vision or hearing, immediate medical attention is required. Do not use sildenafil if allergic to sildenafil or any of its components.

Can I use Finasteride and Minoxidil together?
