Hi,
It can be taken safely while having kidney problems. Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor that is widely used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension.
Its common side effects include low blood pressure, headache, and flushed skin. Other side effects include prolonged erections, nasal congestion and visual disturbances. It is not known to cause any harmful effects while having kidney problems.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
