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.

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.
