Viagra 100mg is not suitable for everyone. Before taking it, carefully review these contraindications and precautions:
- Heart Conditions: Avoid Viagra if you have a history of heart attacks, angina, irregular heartbeats, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Viagra can increase the strain on your heart. Stroke History: If you’ve had a stroke, Viagra is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of another stroke. Low Blood Pressure: Viagra can lower blood pressure, so it’s unsuitable for individuals with already low blood pressure (hypotension). Retinitis Pigmentosa: This rare eye disease increases the risk of vision problems when taking Viagra. Severe Liver or Kidney Disease: These conditions can affect how your body processes Viagra, leading to increased side effects or complications. Deformity of the Penis: Conditions like Peyronie’s disease can worsen with Viagra use.
Medication Interactions: Viagra can interact negatively with certain medications. These include:
- Nitrates: Combining Viagra with nitrates (often used to treat chest pain) can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Alpha-blockers: These medications, used to treat high blood pressure and enlarged prostate, can also interact with Viagra, causing hypotension. Certain Antifungal Medications: Some antifungal medications can affect the metabolism of Viagra.
Precautions:
Consult your doctor: Always discuss Viagra use with your physician before taking it, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or take other medications. Alcohol consumption: Limit alcohol intake while taking Viagra, as alcohol can exacerbate side effects. Grapefruit juice: Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with Viagra and increase its effects. Dosage adjustment: Your doctor may recommend a lower dose if needed based on your health status and response to the medication.
