Always consult your doctor before using Sildenafil Citrate IP. This medication isn’t suitable for everyone.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances (such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light). These usually are mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, seek medical advice. Less common but still possible effects include indigestion, dizziness, and muscle aches.
Serious Side Effects: When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical help if you experience a prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than four hours, sudden vision loss, or a sudden hearing loss. These are rare but serious side effects requiring prompt attention. Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or stroke symptoms (such as weakness or numbness on one side of the body) also necessitate immediate medical evaluation. Allergic reactions, including rash, itching, or swelling, also warrant immediate medical attention.
Precautions and Interactions
Sildenafil Citrate IP can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Heart problems, high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, and certain eye conditions may increase the risk of side effects. Be candid with your physician about your medical history to ensure safe use. Avoid alcohol in excess when using this medication, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
