viagra and Metoprolol Succinate

[Bagofbone]

I have been on 50mg of Metoprolol Succ for 18 years or so for an exercise induced SVT and pre hypertension. Control both pretty well. I am in pretty good shape and exercise regularly. At 54 now I am having some minor ED issues and want to try a low dosage of Viagra. Just wondering if anyone has taken Viagra with Metoprolol and if and what the issues were. BP hangs around 130/85 +/-

I will take this to my cardiologist but wanted to run it by someone who may have been on a similar boat ride.

Thank you for you advice and experience.

You really need to discuss this with a pharmacist who is qualified to answer your question.

My husband was told not to use viagra and was prescribed an alternative. I can’t remember what it was called though

I was prescribed sildenfal, which is the medical name for viagra. The consultant and doctor both advised use with caution and not often. ½ a pill at a time and no more that 4 times per month. It lowers you bp considerably and can make you weak and dizzy. I have stopped taking it, and thankfully the need to use it has gone away. It was originally developed for the heart.

Hi I am on tadalefil 5 mg per day It works for me There are a few other ones as well Ask your GP

Though my case is different to the OP's, my heart surgeon approved the use of Viagra three weeks after I'd had a new heart valve fitted. I had the foresight to get him to include this in the letter he sent to my GP who, I suspect, would have hesitated in issuing a prescription. My BP is slightly high, so there's not an issue with Viagra lowering it. I always feel better after its use, though that could be down to other things ...

As soon as my dodgy heart valve was diagnosed, my GP took me off Viagra and prescribed a cream that had to be squirted internally; I found it almost useless.

Hey there! I can relate to your situation, as I also take Viagra for ED, I only order from this website because I’m confident in the quality of their medications - delivery-service24.com/buy-..., and it helps me a lot. However, my issues aren’t quite as severe as yours.

Regarding your combination of Viagra and Metoprolol Succinate, it’s generally considered safe, but both medications can lower blood pressure. Viagra might cause a slight drop in BP, and since you’re already on Metoprolol, which also lowers BP, there could be an increased risk of hypotension (low blood pressure).

It’s wise to consult with your cardiologist, as you plan to, since they can assess how the combination might affect you based on your health condition. They may suggest starting with a lower dose of Viagra to monitor how your body responds. It’s also important to avoid taking both medications too close together and to ensure you're not experiencing dizziness or other signs of low blood pressure.

In any case, your cardiologist will be the best person to guide you through this with your medical history in mind.

You mention low dose ,is that 25 mg viagra? Can i ask what is different between 25 and 50 mg. Some say 25 mg is not efficient as 50 mg

[Bertramm in reply to Usav]

Yes, the 25 mg dose of Viagra is considered a lower starting dose, often recommended for those who might be more sensitive to the medication or have concerns about side effects. The difference between 25 mg and 50 mg lies in the strength of the effect. A 50 mg dose is typically considered the standard starting dose for most people and is generally more effective in treating erectile dysfunction. However, the 25 mg dose may be sufficient for some individuals, and it can help reduce the risk of side effects like headaches or dizziness. If you find that the 25 mg is not effective, your doctor may suggest increasing the dose to 50 mg, but this should be done under their guidance to ensure safety, especially considering the interaction with other medications like Metoprolol.
