Viagra interacts with certain medications. Avoid using it with:
Nitrates (used to treat chest pain): This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure or prostate problems): This can lead to significantly low blood pressure. Certain antifungal medications (like ketoconazole and itraconazole): These can increase Viagra’s concentration in your blood, heightening the risk of side effects.
Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you take. This allows them to accurately assess potential drug interactions and ensure your safety.
