Important cautions
Do not use Hamagra if you are taking any form of organic nitrate (e.g., nitroglycerin) or guanylate cyclase stimulators like riociguat. It may cause a serious drop in blood pressure when combined with nitrates. Before taking Hamagra, your doctor should check your health, especially your heart, because sexual activity can put strain on the heart. Tell your doctor if you take alpha-blockers, blood pressure medicines, or drink more than 5 units of alcohol, as these may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
