When to use Sildenafil
Sildenafil tablets are effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. Taking Sildenafil about one hour before sexual activity can ensure you achieve and maintain an erection, strengthening relationships.

As a medicine for treating erectile dysfunction, Sildenafil tablets are only suitable for males aged 18 and over.
How to Use Sildenafil
Sildenafil should be taken as and when needed, about one hour before sexual activity. Here's how to use it safely and effectively:
- Food: It's OK to take the erectile dysfunction drug with or without food, but using it after consuming a meal that's high in fat can reduce its effectiveness.
- Frequency: Never take more than one dose of Sildenafil a day.
- Dosage: The standard Sildenafil dosage is 50 mg, but your doctor can adjust it depending on your response to the treatment. If you have severe kidney problems, your doctor may start you on 25 mg.
- Sexual Stimulation: While some erectile dysfunction treatments are spontaneous, Sildenafil will only work when a person becomes sexually aroused.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance for safe and effective use.
When to Avoid Using Sildenafil
If any of the following apply, it's best to avoid Sildenafil and seek other treatment options:
- You're allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients.
- Are currently taking nitrate medications (angina treatments) as it can cause severe blood pressure drops.
- Use amyl nitrite ("poppers") or another nitric oxide donor, as it can cause severe blood pressure drops.
- Are taking riociguat, a medicine for high blood pressure in the lungs.
- Suffer with a heart condition and have been advised to abstain from sexual activity.
- Have recently experienced a stroke or heart attack.
- Have low blood pressure (below 90/50 mmHg).

- Have ever lost sight in one eye because of NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy).
Always consult your healthcare provider before using the treatment. They can assess whether Sildenafil is suitable for your needs.
Precautions:
- Alcohol: Drinking alcohol can temporarily make it harder to get an erection. To get the most from your medicine, do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol before taking Sildenafil.
- Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit juice may slightly increase the amount of Sildenafil in your blood.
- Other Medications: Sildenafil may interact with other medicines. Do not take it with riociguat. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you take an alpha-blocker (for high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate), HIV medicines called protease inhibitors (such as ritonavir or saquinavir), some antibiotics (such as erythromycin), antifungals (such as ketoconazole or itraconazole), sacubitril/valsartan (for heart failure) or nicorandil (for angina). Please tell your doctor or pharmacist about all your prescription medicines and supplements.

- Vision Problems: Sildenafil might cause vision problems, including sensitivity to light and blurred vision.
- Heart Problems: Sildenafil can cause low blood pressure, which puts people with heart conditions at risk.
- Priapism Risk: Tell your doctor before taking Sildenafil if you have sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia or multiple myeloma, which can make a prolonged erection (priapism) more likely, or a deformity of the penis or Peyronie's disease.
