problems (erection problems).
How to Use
This drug is taken by mouth as needed between four
hours and one-half hour before sexual activity (about
one hour before is most effective). Take only as
directed, usually once daily as needed. Sildenafil
works along with sexual stimulation to help achieve
an erection.

Headache, flushing, stomach upset, nasal stuffiness,
diarrhea and dizziness might occur. If these effects
persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.
Unlikely but report promptly: painful or other urination
problems, vision problems, skin rash. Very unlikely
but report promptly: chest pain, fainting, foot
or ankle swelling. If you experience a painful or
prolonged erection (lasting longer than 4 hours),
stop using this drug and seek immediate medical
attention. If you notice other effects not listed
above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

cancers (such as leukemia or myeloma), eye problems
(retina diseases), kidney or liver disease, bleeding
disorders, active stomach ulcers, heart disease,
stroke, very high or low blood pressure. Limit alcohol
