6.Contents of the package and additional information

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

Sildenafilo Teva 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, satisfactory erection for sexual activity.

Do not take Sildenafilo Teva

• If you are allergic to sildenafil or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6).

• If you are taking certain medications called nitrates, as the combination may lead to a dangerous drop 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 nitrite ("poppers"), as the combination may lead to a drop in your blood pressure.

• If you are taking riociguat. This medication 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 clots). PDE5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil, have shown to increase the hypotensive effect of this medication. 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 disorder (such as retinitis pigmentosa).

• If you have experienced previous vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take Sildenafilo Teva

• If you have sickle cell anemia (a blood disorder), leukemia (cancer of the blood cells), or multiple myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow)
• If you have a penile deformity or Peyronie's disease
• If you have heart problems. Your doctor must carefully check if your heart can handle the additional strain of sexual activity.
• If you have a current stomach ulcer or bleeding problems (such as hemophilia)
• If you experience a sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking Sildenafilo Teva and contact your doctor immediately.
