Schedule a consultation. Discuss your medical history, including any heart conditions, high blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems. Mention all medications you currently take, even over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Your doctor will assess your suitability for sildenafil. They’ll perform a physical exam and possibly order blood tests. This helps determine the correct dosage and identify potential risks or interactions.
Understand potential side effects. These can include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Your doctor can explain these in detail and advise on how to manage them.
Discuss alternative treatments if needed. Sildenafil may not be suitable for everyone. Your doctor can explore other options if necessary, such as different medications or lifestyle changes.
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. This includes the prescribed dosage, frequency of use, and any precautions they recommend. Regular check-ups help monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
