6.Contents of the package and additional information

Sildenafilo Viatrisbelongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when sexually stimulated. Sildenafilo will only help you get an erection if you are sexually stimulated.

Sildenafilo is a treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction, sometimes known as impotence. This occurs when a man cannot get or maintain an erect penis, suitable for a satisfactory sexual activity.

.

Do not takeSildenafilo Viatris

• If you are allergic to sildenafil 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 dangerous drop in your blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines, which are often used to relieve chest pain (or "angina"). If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• If you are using any of the medicines called nitric oxide donors, such as amyl nitrite ("poppers"), as the combination may cause a dangerous drop in 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).

• If you have recently had a stroke or heart attack, or if you have low blood pressure.
• If you have certain rare inherited eye disorders (such asretinitis pigmentosa).

Some patients taking an alpha-blocker, a medicine used to treat high blood pressure or prostate problems, may experience dizziness or lightheadedness, which may be caused by a drop in blood pressure when sitting or standing up quickly. Some patients have experienced these symptoms when taking sildenafil with alpha-blockers. This is more likely to happen in the 4 hours following sildenafil intake. To reduce the risk of these symptoms, you must be receiving your regular daily dose of alpha-blocker before starting sildenafil. Your doctor may recommend that you start treatment with the lower dose (25 mg) of sildenafil.
