Sildenafil oral film, like other forms of sildenafil, can cause side effects. Commonly reported are headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less frequent side effects include visual disturbances such as blurred vision or changes in color perception, and dizziness.
Before using sildenafil oral film, inform your doctor about any existing heart conditions, liver or kidney problems, or a history of stroke. Also disclose any use of other medications, especially nitrates or alpha-blockers, as combining them with sildenafil can be dangerous. People with certain eye conditions, such as retinitis pigmentosa, should avoid sildenafil.
Sildenafil may lower blood pressure. Avoid activities that might cause sudden drops in blood pressure, such as strenuous exercise, especially during the first few hours after taking the medication. Alcohol can also enhance sildenafil’s side effects; moderate consumption is advised.
If you experience a sudden loss of vision or hearing, prolonged erection (priapism), or chest pain, seek immediate medical attention. These are serious side effects requiring prompt medical intervention.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
