When to Consult a Doctor Before Using Sildenafil

Always consult your doctor before using sildenafil, especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, a history of stroke or heart attack, bleeding disorders, or retinitis pigmentosa (an eye disease).

If you take nitrates for chest pain, using sildenafil can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Discuss this medication with your physician before considering sildenafil.

Certain medications can interact negatively with sildenafil. Provide your doctor with a complete list of your current prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements. This helps prevent harmful drug interactions.

Sildenafil isn’t suitable for everyone. Your doctor will assess your overall health and determine if sildenafil is the right treatment for you. They can discuss potential risks and benefits tailored to your specific situation.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, dizziness, or prolonged erection (priapism) after taking sildenafil.
