6. Additional information

OXIMUN belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by dilating the blood vessels of the penis, allowing blood to flow when sexually stimulated. OXIMUN will only help you achieve an erection if you are sexually stimulated. Do not take OXIMUN if you do not have erectile dysfunction. The use of OXIMUN is not indicated in women.

OXIMUN is indicated for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction, sometimes referred to as impotence. This occurs when a male is unable to obtain or maintain a firm, adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity.

Do not take OXIMUN

If you are taking certain medications called nitrates, as the combination may cause a potentially 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 cause a potentially dangerous drop in your blood pressure. If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to sildenafil or any of the other components of OXIMUN.

If you have a serious 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 stomach ulcer or bleeding problems (such as hemophilia).

- If you experience a sudden drop or loss of vision, stop taking OXIMUN and contact your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to use OXIMUN simultaneously with any other oral or local treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Some patients who are receiving an alpha-blocker, a medication used to treat high blood pressure or prostate hypertrophy, may experience dizziness or lightheadedness that may be caused by a drop in blood pressure when sitting or standing up quickly. Some patients have experienced these symptoms when taking OXIMUN with alpha-blockers. This is more likely to occur in the 4 hours following OXIMUN intake. To reduce the likelihood of these symptoms, you should be receiving your daily dose of the alpha-blocker regularly before starting OXIMUN. Your doctor may indicate that you start treatment with the lower dose (25 mg) of OXIMUN.
