Viagra for heart patients

Common Questions and Answers about Viagra for heart patients

viagra

Avatar f tn Sexual activity is not recommended in patients with heart failure, unstable angina, recent heart attacks, abnormal heart rates and changes in blood pressure levels. Sildenafil exerts systemic vasodilating action causing a lowering of blood pressure. This effect is not clinically significant and does not cause any complaints in most of the patients.
Avatar m tn That is because Viagra was a mixture of compounds put together in a drug company to give help to angina sufferers, but the very noticeable side effect was seen. However, they re-branded it for the purpose we see today.
Avatar m tn Is it safe for hepatitis b patients to take Viagra so they can get hard errection? Will Viagra cause any damage to liver in hepatitis b patients?
Avatar m tn Although rare, Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) can cause muscle pain and unusual skin sensations or paresthesia. In clinical studies, Viagra caused muscle pain and paresthesia in less than 2% of patients. Patients who experience these side effects should stop taking the medication and consult their physician. These medications increase blood flow to the penis by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).
Avatar n tn I was diagnose with clogged arteries over a year ago. I even had a stent put in because one of my arteries was ecluded. I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs. I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low.
Avatar m tn Unfortunately there is no easy treatment for pulmonary hypertension associated with unrepaired congenital heart disease. It sounds like your sister has been very fortunate to have lived to the age of 35 years (many don't live that long) and to have found happiness and marriage. PAH secondary to congenital heart disease will lead to an early death in all cases.
Avatar m tn Anything good for your heart is good for your penis, that includes food, exercises, sleeping habits, sleeping posture, e.t.c.
Avatar m tn Hepatic Impairment In volunteers with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B), sildenafil clearance was reduced, resulting in higher plasma exposure of sildenafil (47% for Cmax and 85% for AUC). The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil in patients with severely impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh Class C) have not been studied. A starting dose of 25 mg should be considered in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

The one my Vet uses is Wedgewood Pharmacy in New Jersey...I live in Oklahoma.....
Avatar f tn ) I should have indicated it is my husband who is taking heart meds that discourage taking viagra. Carvedilol strengthens the heart muscle while viagra dilates the blood vessels to allow more blood to flow. The two drugs would work against one another. I am just trying to find out if occasional use of viagra would be safe or a risk to take.
Avatar n tn Definitely check in with your health care provider before using viagra and heart medication. Viagra was accidentally discovered to work for ED when being studied for it's affects on the heart. They always ask you if you are taking this. Men taking ED medications can not take nitrates as a general rule.
Avatar n tn To the best of my knowledge, medications used to treat ED are contraindicated in patients with known heart disease. Has your husband had a recent checkup? Is he heart-healthy?' Here is a MedHelp link to information on Cialis: http://www.medhelp.org/drugs/show/3512 Hope that helps. Before starting on any new medication, just be sure his doctor knows his medical history and is aware of current medications.
976897 tn?1379167602 That's crossover correct. Recently a South Carolina researcher died and his obit described his lifelong efforts to develop a drug for angina sufferers. As a 'side effect' it was noted that the impact of nitric oxide processes in the body and these resesearch drugs led the researchers to look more carefully at the most marketable effort of the drug later known as Viagara. It had more of an impact of that part of the anatomy than on the heart.
Avatar m tn A newer Viagra prescription will not work any better than one that is just a month expired, in my view. Other unregulated supplements are very questionable because one does not know their effect on your body or even if they contain what is on the label. I would rather you work with a urologist along with a counselor to help you with your nerve issues.
667937 tn?1227758698 In 2002 our family physician gave my husband a prescription for viagra 50 mg. It helped us out a lot. But then on march 17 of 2007 my husband had a heart attack with minimal damage to the heart muscle, but had to have 2 stints placed to open a large vessel that was blocked. I am worried because my husband still feels he can take the Viagra. He has had no ill effects from taking it since but there have been times when he has not taken it that he has a severe headache after he orgasms.
Avatar m tn I just did. He said the warning was more for people taking nitrates for a heart condition. However, he suggested not taking them on the same day as Viagra as a precaution. Could any of the doctors here offer a second opinion?
Avatar f tn Your hepatologist should have the last say - irregardless of what the other doctors think. Yes, Viagra is a problem for patients dealing with liver and kidney disease. Unless my liver team tells me it's ok, I don't do it. Just be careful.
Avatar m tn This, in turn, affects the blood pressure and can possibly contribute to the development of an abnormal heart rate, a stroke or a heart attack. Hence it should be used only under medical supervision. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn So I am angry with him for not taking better care of himself but I am also frustrated with his doctor for the continued treatment, giving my husband the OK for Tylenol and prescribing Viagra (without checking his heart) and Testosterone cream when it could clearly affect his liver even more. Also, I don't understand while the doctor is keeping him on treatment even as his fibrosis is turning into cirrhosis.
Avatar m tn t know if taking Viagra is likely to be a problem or not (I do know that Viagra was originally developed to be a heart drug, they only discovered in testing that it also had the effect of causing erections!) You should go and see a doctor about this. I guess you must already be seeing a doctor about your blood pressure, so go and speak to them and tell them you are having this problem. Only a doctor can tell you for sure if it is related, and advise what the best thing to do would be.
Avatar n tn The first step is to see if you can change your medication. If you have a heart condition and need to take nitrates you will not be able to take Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis.
Avatar n tn m just wondering, do you have sex with others, how old are you, and how did you get a prescription for Viagra if you're a young guy who mostly masturbates at this point in your life. The main cause of ED are mental issues. Sometimes we're just tired or feeling blah and it doesn't work and then, because a partner is involved, we get scared and it escalates into a more chronic problem.
