Consistently with its reversible mode of action, ticagrelor is known to act faster and shorter than clopidogrel. [35] This means it has to be taken twice instead of once a day which is a disadvantage in respect of compliance, but its effects are more quickly reversible which can be useful before surgery or if side effects occur.

Management strategies include: for erectile dysfunction the addition of a PDE5 inhibitor such as sildenafil; for decreased libido, possibly adding or switching to bupropion; and for overall sexual dysfunction, switching to nefazodone. [53] Buspirone is sometimes used off-label to reduce sexual dysfunction associated with the use of SSRIs. [54 ...
The occurrence of side effects, or adverse drug reactions (ADRs), with PDE5 inhibitors depends on the dose and type of agent. [1] Headache is a very common ADR, occurring in >10% of patients. Other common ADRs include: dizziness, flushing, dyspepsia , nasal congestion or rhinitis. [ 6 ]
