class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Sildenafil STADA is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sildenafil Stada contains the active substance sildenafil which belongs to a group of medicines called&nbsp;phosphodiesterase&nbsp;type 5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors).&nbsp;It works by making it easier for the blood vessels in your penis to dilate so that the blood can flow in when you are sexually stimulated.&nbsp;Sildenafil Stada only makes it easier to get an&nbsp;erection&nbsp;if you are sexually stimulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sildenafil Stada is a treatment for adult men with\u00a0erectile dysfunction, better known as\u00a0impotence.\u00a0This means that a man cannot get, or maintain, a hard erect penis sufficient for sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sildenafil contained in Sildenafil Stada may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you use Sildenafil STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2

taking medicines called nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite (&#8220;poppers&#8221;), a combination of such medicines with Sildenafil Stada may also lead to a sharp drop in blood

and\u00a0chronic\u00a0thromboembolic\u00a0pulmonary\u00a0hypertension\u00a0(ie high\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0in the lungs due to blood clots).\u00a0PDE5 inhibitors, such as Sildenafil Stada, have been

treatment of\u00a0HIV, your doctor may prescribe that you start with the lowest\u00a0dose\u00a0(25 mg) of Sildenafil Stada.\u00a0You should not take Sildenafil Stada if you are taking the protease inhibitor\u00a0<strong>ritonavir<\/strong>\u00a0(for the treatment of\u00a0HIV\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients taking&nbsp;<strong>alpha-receptor blockers<\/strong>&nbsp;to treat high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;or&nbsp;prostate&nbsp;enlargement may experience dizziness or fainting, which may be caused by low&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;when sitting up or standing up quickly.&nbsp;Some patients have experienced these symptoms while taking sildenafil with alpha-receptor blockers.&nbsp;This is most likely to occur within 4 hours of taking Sildenafil Stada.&nbsp;To reduce the risk of these symptoms, you should take alpha-receptor blockers regularly with a fixed daily&nbsp;dose&nbsp;before you start taking Sildenafil Stada.&nbsp;Your doctor may&nbsp;prescribe&nbsp;a lower&nbsp;dose&nbsp;(25 mg) of Sildenafil Stada.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sildenafil STADA with food, drink, and alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sildenafil Stada can be taken with

drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not
