Applying Sildenafil prilocaine topical ointment may cause localized skin reactions. You might experience redness, itching, or burning at the application site. These reactions are usually mild and temporary, resolving within a few hours. However, report any persistent or worsening skin irritation to your doctor.
Headache is another potential side effect, although less common than localized skin reactions. If you experience a severe or persistent headache, seek medical attention.
Rarely, more serious side effects such as dizziness, changes in vision (blurred vision or changes in color perception), or a sudden decrease or loss of hearing can occur. These require immediate medical attention. Stop using the ointment and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Patients with known hypersensitivity to sildenafil or prilocaine should avoid using this ointment. Also, individuals with certain heart conditions or taking specific medications should consult their physician before using this product to minimize the risk of adverse interactions.
Remember to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding application frequency and dosage. Improper use can increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects.
