When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors have been associated with transient impairment of color discrimination (blue/green) and blue- or color-tinged vision. These agents also inhibit phosphodiesterase-6 (PDE6), to a much lesser extent, which is involved in phototransduction in the retina. There are no controlled clinical data on the safety in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a minority of whom may have genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases. Therapy with these agents should be avoided in such patients.
