Always inform your doctor about your complete medical history before taking Sildenafil 20mg. This includes any existing health conditions and medications you are currently taking.
Heart Conditions
- Avoid Sildenafil if you have a history of heart attack, stroke, or irregular heartbeat. Consult your doctor if you experience chest pain or discomfort during or after sexual activity. Sildenafil may lower blood pressure; this is particularly important to consider if you’re on blood pressure medications.
Eye Conditions
- Caution is advised if you have retinitis pigmentosa, a rare inherited eye disease. Report any sudden vision changes immediately to your physician.
Other Precautions
Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can increase Sildenafil levels in your blood. Limit alcohol consumption before and during Sildenafil use to minimize potential side effects. Do not exceed the recommended dosage of 20mg without consulting your doctor. Sildenafil is not recommended for people with severe liver or kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you are taking other medications, especially nitrates (used to treat chest pain) or alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure or prostate problems). These can interact dangerously with Sildenafil.

Sildenafil is completely contraindicated for individuals with the following:
- Severe heart disease Uncontrolled high blood pressure Recent stroke or heart attack Severe liver or kidney disease Allergy to Sildenafil or any of its components
