Priapism can occur and can cause tissue damage to the penis, so an erection lasting longer than 4 hours should be reported. Patients who use nitroglycerin should not use sildenafil within 24 hours of taking this drug. Patients should be advised to take sildenafil 30 minutes to 4 hours before anticipated sexual activity. Sildenafil does not cause an erection without sexual stimuli.
