Viagra And Diabetes

Jo, a 46-year old patient with erectile dysfunction, takes in diabetic medication and Viagra at the same time but he confirms that he has not felt any side effect at all.  The same goes for 51-year old Kevin who is also suffering from Diabetes (and who has started taking 100mg of Viagra a year ago but is now taking 50mg) and who confirms that the only side effect he has is indigestion.

Jo and Kevin are only two of the many erectile dysfunction and diabetic patients who have regained their sex life with Viagra without any complications or side effect at all.

There is a perception that a person who has Diabetes and suffering from erectile dysfunction could no longer take in any medication that will allow him an enjoyable sex life.  However, this notion has been negated by the use of Viagra by diabetic people without any side effects at all.

Viagra or Sildenafil is an erectile dysfunction drug that allows a patient to have an erection that can last until the completion of the sexual act.  It was the first ED drug to have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and has led the pack for years already.

Clinical studies have shown Viagra’s ability to provide longer periods of erection for men who suffer from erectile dysfunction.  However, it has also been proven effective for patients who are also taking in diabetic medications at the same time.

The various laboratory studies on the drug confirmed it is generally safe for use provided it is not mixed with contraindicated drugs like Nitrates.  Using Viagra and Nitrates at the same time can result to very low blood pressure and even heart attack.

Studies also show that Viagra has no known interaction with diabetic medications, aspirin or antacids. However, the intake of Viagra with erythromycin has resulted to a rise in blood pressure levels.

Among the common side effects of Viagra are mild headache, indigestion, flushing and runny nose.

Viagra has a long safety track record and you can take it even if you have Diabetes.  However, Viagra is still a prescription medication and it should only be used after you have consulted with your doctor for the possible side effects and your existing medical conditions.  These factors are important in determining the safety of Viagra for you and in determining the proper dosage of Viagra.
