E.D. with cirrhosis

[Male47]

Do any men here take E.D. medication who have cirrhosis? If so, what meds, what stage cirrhosis? Experience and advice please.Is tadalafil (Cialis) less harsh on the liver than sildenafil (Viagra)?

Other options?

Of course I won't take anything without being given by my doctor.

If you have heart problems, portal vein hypertension or low blood pressure, make sure doctor evaluation is done.

I spoke to my doctor and she put me on Sildenafil, that was back when I was first diagnosed and had a stay in hospital for a few weeks, doctors didn’t think I was getting out of hospital, but here I am nearly 20 years older just had a new liver and still taking it 👍.

[Male47 in reply to Dogbot]

That's great news. I take it, it hasn't had any detrimental effect on your liver then and presumably they started you on the lowest dose (25mg)?

[Dogbot in reply to Male47]

yes started on that then they put it up to 50mg , but since my new liver I’m finding it easier male 67.

I took cialis with compensated cirrhosis. I asked my specialist about it before I took it and was told it wasn’t a “contraindication”. Thankfully I only had to take it a few times. Wishing you the best.

Hi! Yes, I have taken Viagra (sildenafil) before without any major issues, but it was always after consulting with my doctor. It's essential to make sure your healthcare provider is involved in your decision, especially with cirrhosis, since liver health plays a significant role in how medications are metabolized. But to minimize the side effects, Viagra must be of the best quality, so I buy it only from a reliable pharmacy, delivery is always fast and the quality is excellent. I order Viagra from them - topsup24.com/buy-viagra-usa...

As for your question about Cialis (tadalafil) versus Viagra (sildenafil), while both medications are generally considered safe for men with cirrhosis when prescribed by a doctor, tadalafil has a longer half-life and may be less taxing on the liver, but that depends on the specific stage of cirrhosis. It’s important to monitor liver function closely while using any medication.

Other options like vacuum pumps or penile injections could be worth discussing with your doctor as well. Ultimately, always follow your doctor's advice and get regular checkups to make sure the medication is working as it should without negatively impacting your liver.
