1. What Sildenafilo Normon is and what it is used for

Sildenafilo belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. It works by widening the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when you are sexually stimulated. Sildenafilo will only help you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated.

Sildenafilo is used to treat adult men with erectile dysfunction, sometimes called impotence. This is when a man cannot get, or keep, a hard erection that is sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity.

2. What you need to know before you take Sildenafilo Normon

Do not take Sildenafilo Normon

• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to sildenafilo or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• If you are taking medicines called nitrates, as the combination may cause a potentially dangerous decrease in your blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines, often used to relieve angina pectoris (or "chest pain"). If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• If you are using any of the medicines known as nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite ("poppers"), as the combination may cause a potentially dangerous decrease in your blood pressure. If you are taking riociguat. This medicine is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure in the lungs) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure in the lungs caused by blood clots). PDE5 inhibitors, such as Sildenafilo Normon, have shown that they increase the hypotensive effect of this medicine. If you are taking riociguat or are unsure, consult your doctor.
• If you have a severe heart or liver problem.
• If you have recently had a stroke or heart attack, or if you have low blood pressure.
• If you have a rare inherited eye disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa.
• If you have previously experienced a loss of vision due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
