Tell Your Doctor About Viagra

Ukmedix has come across reports of people who use Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs and then fail to report that they are using them to their doctor when they are sick due to the embarassment of admitting that they have an impotence problem. This is dangerous as Viagra can interact with some medications and then produce potentialy fatal side effects. A side effect of Viagra for example is that it can lower your blood pressure so if you have already got low blood pressure thinks can get dangerous.

The popularity of Viagra is such that millions of men are using it and they don't always go to their regular doctor to get it. This means that the doctor who takes care of their general health may be unaware that they are using it and prescribe something that interacts with it. Keeping the fact that you use Viagra from your doctor could be dangerous so be aware of this and tell them.

Many men who use Viagra are older and they are also the type of men who suffer from heart problems. Popular drugs for heart trouble include nitrates that react very badly with Viagra, Cialis and Levitra and cause sudden very low blood pressure. No doctor will prescribe Viagra to a man if he knows that he is using nitrates and also any man who is using Viagra will not be prescribed nitrates either.

Viagra is still the world's favourite erectile dysfunction medication with its sales still well ahead of Cialis and Levitra. Viagra's active ingredient sildenafil is being increasingly tested to help people with heart problems and pulmonary aterial hypertension. Ukmedix requires a full disclosure of all medications that you are using before prescribing any erectile dysfunction medication.
