Factors Influencing Dosage

Important Usage Guidelines

If you experience severe side effects (chest pain, prolonged erection, sudden vision loss), seek immediate medical attention. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can support overall health and improve sexual function.
Common Side Effects
