VIAGRA INFORMATION

GENERIC NAME: Sildenafil citrate

VIAGRA FAQ: Viagra is the first oral drug developed for male impotence. Viagra works by dilating blood vessels in the penis, allowing the inflow of blood necessary for an erection.

HOW TO USE VIAGRA: Taking Viagra approximately 1 hour prior to sexual activity works best for most men. Depending on how and when the drug works for you, an interval of one-half hour to as much as 4 hours may prove ideal.

VIAGRA SIDE EFFECTS:
Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any side effects develop or change in intensity, consult your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Viagra. More common side effects may include - Abnormal vision (color tinge, blurring, sensitivity to light), acid indigestion, diarrhea, flushing, headache, nasal congestion, urinary tract infection. A range of less common or rare side effects are possible, so be sure to ask a doctor about these before you take Viagra. Heart attack, stroke, heart irregularities, dangerous surges in blood pressure, and sudden death have all been reported after use of Viagra, usually in men with existing cardiac risk factors, and typically during or shortly after sex.

VIAGRA PRECAUTIONS: Avoid taking Viagra if you are taking any nitrate-based drug, including nitroglycerin patches (Nitro-Dur, Transderm-Nitro), nitroglycerin ointment (Nitro-Bid, Nitrol), nitroglycerin pills (Nitro-Bid, Nitrostat), and isosorbide pills (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate). Combining Viagra with these drugs can cause a severe drop in blood pressure. If Viagra causes you to develop an allergic reaction, discontinue use.

VIAGRA INTERACTIONS: If Viagra is combined with other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is very important to consult with your doctor before combining Viagra with the following:

Other impotence remedies including Caverject and Muse
Amlodipine (Norvasc)
Cimetidine (Tagamet)
Erythromycin (E-Mycin, Ery-Tab, PCE)
Itraconazole (Sporanox)
Ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Nitrates such as Isordil, Nitro-Bid, and Nitro-Dur
Rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane)
Ritonavir (Norvir)
Saquinavir (Fortovase, Invirase)

VIAGRA NOTES: If you are taking any nitrate-based drug, including nitroglycerin patches (Nitro-Dur, Transderm-Nitro), nitroglycerin ointment (Nitro-Bid, Nitrol), nitroglycerin pills (Nitro-Bid, Nitrostat), and isosorbide pills (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), do not take Viagra. Combining Viagra with these drugs can result in a severe drop in blood pressure.
If Viagra gives you an allergic reaction, discontinue use.

If your heart problems are severe enough to make sexual activity a danger, avoid using Viagra. Use with caution---if at all---if you've had a heart attack, stroke, or life-threatening heart irregularities within the past 6 months. Be just as cautious if you have severe high or low blood pressure, heart failure, or unstable angina (crushing heart pain that occurs at any time).

If you take Viagra and develop cardiac symptoms (for example, dizziness, nausea, and chest pain) during sexual activity, discontinue use and notify your doctor of the problem as soon as possible.

If you have a condition that might result in long-lasting erections, such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma (a disease of the bone marrow), or leukemia, use Viagra with caution. Also use cautiously if you have a genital problem or deformity such as Peyronie's disease. Should an erection last more than 4 hours, get treatment immediately as permanent damage and impotence could result.

If you have a bleeding disorder, a stomach ulcer, or the inherited eye condition known as retinitis pigmentosa, exercise caution using this medication. Viagra's safety under these circumstances has not yet been studied.

Viagra offers no protection from transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

This drug is not intended for use by women. Effects during pregnancy have not been studied.
