| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Caution is advised if PDE5 inhibitors are prescribed in combination with antihypertensive agents. Patients receiving the combination should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position, especially following treatment initiation or a dosage increase, and to contact their doctor if they experience symptoms of hypotension such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or tachycardia. | ||||||||
