Use of other medication with asthma medication

I have recently been diagnosed with asthma and am now using QVAR100 and Vertine Salmeterol inhalers twice a day. I have been using viagra/kamagra with no ill effects for a few years and need to know if I am safe to keep on using it in view of my inhalers and my asthma. I am quite serious and I am not trying to offend or upset anyone.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for your response, I was rather hoping to get an answer on this site to save me the embarrassment of asking my doctor.

None of us are qualified to give advice on pharmacology and drug interactions. If you don't want to see your GP, you could speak to a pharmacist in confidence and never have to see them again ;)

There is lots of information about drug interactions online, but these are nowhere near as informed or reliable as GP or pharmacist!
