Why Hidden Sildenafil & Tadalafil Are Dangerous
Sildenafil and tadalafil are phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors that require a prescription because they can:
- Cause sudden, potentially life-threatening drops in blood pressure, especially with nitrate medications.
- Trigger headaches, dizziness, or fainting.
- Increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events in susceptible users.
No injuries have been reported to Gear Isle so far. Anyone who has experienced adverse effects should seek medical care and file a MedWatch report (instructions below).
