Can I use Viagra while I am on medication for high blood pressure? |
Can I use Viagra while I am on medication for high blood pressure? These drugs are safe for healthy hearts, but all men with cardiovascular disease should take special precautions, and some cannot use them under any circumstances. The problem is their effect on arteries. All arteries, not just those in the penis, generate nitric oxide, so any artery can widen in response to Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis, causing blood pressure to drop temporarily by 5-8 mmHg, even in healthy men. Men whose blood pressure isn't under control and those who take alpha-blockers (for high blood pressure or prostate problems) shouldn't take Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra. read here more Source(s): http://www.1pharmacy.biz/article_erectil... NOT with nitroglycerin (and other drugs in the same "nitrate" class), which is used for chest pain. Nitro drops your BP a lot, and so does viagra (it takes the blood in your vascular tree and sends it "South" instead), so you could pass out and have other problems. For other medicines, you really need the okay of whoever is prescribing you the BP meds. There are a ton of blood pressure meds, and they're all different. READ THIS :- VIAGRA is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). If you take any medicines that have nitrates in them (like nitroglycerin for chest pain)鈥攅very day or even once in a while鈥攜ou should NOT take VIAGRA. Discuss your general health status with your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex, seek immediate medical help. The most common side effects of VIAGRA are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur. In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA, and call a doctor right away. Although erections lasting for more than 4 hours may occur rarely with all ED treatments in this drug class, to avoid long-term injuries, it is important to seek immediate medical help. If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25-mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48-hour period. If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha-blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of VIAGRA. Remember to protect yourself and your partner from sexually transmitted diseases. VIAGRA is one of many options for treating ED that you and your doctor can consider. Ask your physician ! |
