KIFARU

KIFARU

  • Common Side Effects: Headaches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, dizziness, nausea, or mild changes in color vision. 
  • Dangerous Drug Interaction: Never take Kifaru if you use prescription nitrate medications (like nitroglycerin for chest pain). Combining them causes a life-threatening, sudden drop in blood pressure. 
  • Priapism Warning: In rare cases, an erection lasting longer than 4 hours may occur. This requires immediate emergency medical attention to prevent permanent tissue damage.
How It Works
  • Relaxes Blood Vessels: Sildenafil works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which increases levels of a chemical called cGMP.
  • Improves Blood Flow: This relaxation allows smooth muscles to expand, facilitating robust blood flow specifically into the penis.
  • Requires Stimulation: The medication does not cause an automatic erection; natural sexual arousal or stimulation is required to trigger its effects.
