Viagra

[ocnnll]

So I'm wondering if anyone who takes statins, lanzaprizol, Ranexa and bisparodol 5mg can take viagra, my nurse said speak to GP, can't get past the bloody receptionist. 😬🤣I realise no-one can tell me for definite without me going to GP but just want to hear some experiences please.

Thanks

Dear ocnmll,

There are ways around the problem that you need the Viagra for and discussions with your Dr is important to find the right one for you with the medication you are on.

If you are thinking of taking this drug just for recreational use then again hold off until you talk to your GP.

Your pharmacist will be able to tell you about the interaction with your other drug as chemists now sell it, but remember they will alway air on the caution side.

With the hosts of medication I am on I take a very low dose Tadalafil - Brand names: Cialis, Adcirca @ 2.5mg twice a day to keep it in my system.

It is enough to do what is needed without problems with my other medication, I fund this myself with the knowledge of my Cardiologist and Dr.

Its a balancing act, I would explore other methods first, I found viagra to be a horrible drug even at the lowest dose,

There is testing going on to see if Tadalafil has any benefit for heart patients , so I have been told by my Dr as its a vasodilator.

Hope you get it sorted soon

Tadalafil is already prescribed to treat coronary vasospasms.

Interesting, wonder why they put me on Nicorandil as well instead of upping the Tadalafil?

I have had no side effects from Tadalafil and yet it took me a good month to settle with the Nicorandil,

Neither has any affect on my nagging angina awaiting another angiogram .

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Hidden]

Probably because you need to have a confirmed diagnosis of vasospastic angina following an angiogram using acetylcholine first before it's prescribed. Tadalafil is also not licensed to be used this way. Your Cardiologist has to take responsibility for prescribing the medication.

Many of us living with vasospastic angina are prescribed isosorbide mononitrate when given with Tadalafil this can cause your blood pressure to drop dangerously.

Calcium channel blockers are another important medication to help treat coronary vasospasms.

Tadalafil is not an option for me as I need to have infusions of GTN from time to time.
