Hi FocusRs I think the main issue is that both medications have a blood pressure lowering effect so care is needed. Unless your hear condition is unstable I don't why you have been told they can't be taken together although caution is required. If I were you I would discuss again with GP or Pharmacist. Couple of articles attached for information myheart.net/articles/is-it-... drugs.com/drug-interactions...

Thanks Nathan53, to date Angina is stable, I have an angiograph in 2 weeks time for further detail, I will wait until then and go back to Doc thanks

Hi

My cardiologist made me wait 6 months after bisoprolol start before he'd let GP prescribe sildenifil. Wanted to make sure I was fully stable first. Suggest you discuss with GP
