Novo-sildenafil, like other phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, side effects include changes in vision, such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light. Prolonged or painful erections (priapism) are a medical emergency and require immediate attention. You should contact a doctor immediately if this occurs.
Heart-related side effects are possible, particularly in individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or dizziness should prompt immediate medical consultation. Before using Novo-sildenafil, discuss your medical history, including any heart problems, with your doctor.
Interactions with other medications are a concern. Novo-sildenafil should not be combined with nitrates or certain other medications without consulting a physician. This interaction can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Hearing loss and sudden loss of vision are rare but reported side effects. Seek immediate medical help should you experience these symptoms. Remember to always follow your doctor’s instructions and dosage recommendations.
