RESUMO
Sildenafil is widely used in the treatment of male erectile disorder and is generally well-tolerated. Its adverse effects are reported to be mild and include flushing, headache, dyspepsia and visual disturbances. We document a case of recurrent haemoptysis observed soon after self administration of sildenafil in a 38-year-old male with no other causative factors. The episodes of haemoptysis stopped following stoppage of sildenafil.
