Candesartan and Viagra!

7 Replies

I am taking Candesartan 16 for over 8 years and it works for me very well. I am very fit

and enjoy life at its fullest.

Recently I had come across lot of stress in my life and need to deal with an important matter affecting my me and my partner.

I was advised to take Viagra for 8 weeks to see how this will improve the situation

Any idea if this two medicine can combine? any risk? I read the whole manual but I could not find that canesartan is a nitrate? it is a different type of lowering blood pressure medians

Help please from any GP or or someone who tried the same?

Kind Regards

Mar

Your pharmacist should be able to advise you.

Go to your doctor or a pharmacist who will be able to look up the apropriate information to give a definitive answer.

Candesartan is an ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker) not a nitrate.

Your GP can now prescribe sildenafil ( the generic version) on the NHS.

Thank you Fortepiano!

My gp prescribed Viagra 100mg to assist with ED, after discussions with cardiologist. I also take Candersartan 8 mg with 1.25mg bisoprolol

Hi there. I think that you need to see a doctor. I am not an expert, but as far as I know, Viagra should not be mixed with any other drugs. My doctor has prescribed me viagra from sterkeapotheek.nl/kamagra/ and told me to not mix it with anything. Who knows, maybe it's individual. That's why I am recommending you to see a doctor, he will definitely help you and will give a 100% answer. I would advise you to not risk you health, first go to a doctor, be careful, it's very important.

I’m not a doctor but my doctor recommend me to stop taking viagra before this i’ve been using viagra for years without any problem with long and strong erection but in last few months i start feeling some pain in my Prostate and i had to visit my doctor for a check, after the tests he recommended me to stop using viagra and never take it with the medicine he gave me, i searched in internet for herbals used to erection and tried maca and ginkgo but it wasn’t really helpful, another doctor recommended me tadalafil which is safe to take with medicines and give erection, i order it from here e-surgery.com/product/tadal... , you better ask your doctor before taking it.
