Consult your doctor before using Sildenafil, especially if you have heart conditions, high or low blood pressure, or have experienced a stroke or heart attack. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but it highlights critical areas needing immediate attention.
Using Sildenafil with nitrates is strictly prohibited due to the risk of dangerously low blood pressure. This interaction can be life-threatening. Always disclose all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to your physician.
Specific contraindications include severe liver or kidney disease, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare eye disease), and a history of priapism (a prolonged and painful erection). These conditions increase the risk of adverse reactions.
