Prescription only after evaluation. Do not use with nitrates — including nitrate heart medicines (such as nitroglycerin) or “poppers.” The combination can cause a dangerous, potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. Tell your provider about any heart condition, blood-pressure medication, alpha-blockers, or other medications before use. Seek emergency care for an erection lasting more than 4 hours or for sudden vision or hearing loss. Side effects may include headache, flushing, and dizziness.
