The medication is taken orally, as directed by a doctor, usually once daily. It is important to follow the treatment duration to achieve maximum benefits.

Side effects may include dizziness, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or orthostatic hypotension. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or gynecomastia may occur.

This combination is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to any of the components or severe hepatic impairment.
