Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, before starting Viagra 25mg. This includes nitrates, commonly used to treat chest pain (angina). Combining Viagra with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-Blockers and Other Blood Pressure Medications
Viagra can interact with alpha-blockers, prescribed for high blood pressure or prostate problems. This combination may lead to significantly low blood pressure, causing dizziness or fainting. Discuss your medications with your doctor to ensure safe usage.
Certain Antifungal and HIV Medications
Some antifungal medications (like ketoconazole and itraconazole) and HIV protease inhibitors can increase Viagra’s levels in your blood, potentially intensifying side effects. Your doctor might adjust your Viagra dosage or recommend alternative treatments.
Never take more Viagra than prescribed. If you experience unexpected side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Open communication with your healthcare provider is paramount for safe and effective medication management.
