IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS FOR ED MEDICATIONS

Most men who take Viagra and Cialis aren't bothered by side effects. When side effects do occur, they can include headache, flushing, indigestion, stuffy or a runny nose, temporary vision changes, including "blue vision" (with Viagra). For a complete listing of the side effects and medication interactions, it is recommended that you visit with one of our licensed physicians and learn as much as you can about the drug before using either medication.

When Erectile Dysfunction Medications May Not Be Safe

Not all men can safely take erectile dysfunction medications. They can be dangerous if you have certain health problems or you're taking particular medications. Erectile dysfunction medications may not be safe if you have:

• Heart problems, including heart pain (angina), heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) or a recent heart attack
• High or low blood pressure (hypertension or hypotension) that isn't controlled
• A history of stroke within the last six months
• Eye problems such as retinitis pigmentosa, or blood relatives with certain eye problems
• Sickle cell anemia, leukemia or another health problem that can cause an erection that won't subside (priapism)

Possible Medication Interactions

Tell the Doctor about any medications you're taking. A number of other drugs can also interact with Viagra or Cialis.

They include:

• Alpha blockers
• Antibiotics
• Anti-seizure medications
• Blood Thinners
• Anti-arrhythmic heart medications

Never take Viagra or Cialis if you take nitrate drugs to treat heart pain (angina). Like Viagra and Cialis, nitrates dilate blood vessels. Their combined effects can cause dangerously low blood pressure and loss of consciousness.

Medications that contain nitrates include:

• Nitroglycerin (Nitro-Bid, Minitran, others)
• Isosorbide (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Monoket, others)
• Illegal drugs such as amyl nitrite or "poppers"

Erectile Dysfunction: Don't Ignore the Underlying Cause

Taking Viagra or Cialis without treating the original problem may improve sexual performance but don't ignore an underlying issue by just taking pills to treat the symptom of another health issue.

Getting proper treatment for the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction may help prevent related health problems and improve sexual function as well. Discuss this with one of our licensed physicians at your office visit and make sure you are treated for the issue that is causing ED in addition to treating the ED symptom itself.
