(Consultation) Slidenafil 50mg

For males aged 18 and above, sildenafil may serve as an effective remedy for erectile dysfunction (ED). However, sildenafil is not advisable if you have any of the following apply to you:

• you have an allergy to sildenafil 

• you have low blood pressure 

• you have a heart or liver condition

• you've recently had stroke or heart attack 

• you have a rare inherited eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa 

Sildenafil and Blood Pressure: Sildenafil is occasionally used to treat pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).  If you have low blood pressure or are on medications to lower it, consulting with a doctor before taking sildenafil is recommended. 

Even in the absence of pre-existing conditions, there are instances where sildenafil should be avoided. Refrain from taking sildenafil if you: 

• are using other medications for erectile dysfunction (ED) 

• have sickle cell anaemia 

• have a deformity of the penis 

• are taking nitrates for chest pain 

• have specific eye conditions, such as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) 

Sildenafil is not authorised for use by women and is exclusively licensed for male use in the UK.
