Sildenafilo Pensa contains the active ingredient sildenafilo, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by dilating the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow when sexually stimulated. Sildenafilo Pensa will only help you achieve an erection if you are sexually stimulated.

Sildenafilo Pensa is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men, sometimes referred to as impotence. This occurs when a man is unable to obtain or maintain a firm, adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity.

- If you are allergic to sildenafilo or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

- If you are taking certain medications called nitrates, as the combination may lead to a dangerous decrease in your blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you are taking any of these medications, which are often used to relieve chest pain (or "chest pain"). If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

- If you are using any of the medications called nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrate ("poppers"), as the combination may lead to a dangerous decrease in your blood pressure.

- If you have a severe heart or liver problem.

- If you have recently experienced a stroke or heart attack, or if you have low blood pressure.

- If you have a rare inherited eye disorder (such as retinitis pigmentosa).
