Some common side effects of this medicine include
nausea, vomiting, dryness in the mouth, blurred vision, insomnia, and
erectile dysfunction. Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop
in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise
slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It also causes dizziness
and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental
focus until you know how this medicine affects you. This medicine can

exercising regularly can reduce this side effect.
