How to Use:

• Before you take sildenafil, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about the tablets and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking them.
• Take sildenafil exactly as your doctor tells you to. It is intended to be taken before sexual activity - it is NOT for continuous daily use. You should take one tablet about an hour before you plan to have sex, although it may still be effective up to five hours after taking the tablet. You can take the tablet either before or after food but, if you have just eaten a large meal, it may take longer for it to work.
• Do not take more than one dose of sildenafil in any 24-hour period.
• Do not take Nitrates nor Alpha Blockers while taking this medicine.
• Please contact your pharmacist with any questions.
• Common sildenafil side-effects:
• Headache: Drink plenty of water. If the headaches continue, let your doctor know.
• Flushing, feeling sick, indigestion, blocked nose. These should soon pass.
• Feeling dizzy, visual changes such as blurred vision or color distortion. If either of these happens, do not drive and do not use tools or machines until your reactions/vision have returned to normal.

Important: if your erection lasts for longer than four hours, or if you get chest pains or a sudden loss of vision, contact a doctor for medical attention straightaway.

• Tightness in the chest or throat, trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking, unusual hoarseness, or swelling of the face
