Although drugs to eliminate erectile dysfunction (impotence) can help many people, not all men can safely take them. Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis are contraindicated if you have:
- heart problems, including recent heart attack, heart pain (cardiac angina) during sex, cardiac insufficiency, heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias);
- uncontrolled high or low blood pressure (hypertension or hypotension);
- blood stroke in the last six months;
- retinal disorders, including NARP;
- sickle cell anemia, leukemia, and other health conditions, which can lead to the fact that erection will not weaken (priapism).
Interaction with Other Drugs
Tell your doctor about all the medicines that you take, including herbal ones. A number of other drugs, including some antibiotics, blood thinners and drugs for cardiac arrhythmia can affect how well Viagra, Levitra and Cialis work, and can also cause side effects.
Some medicines should never be taken with Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis or should be used with extreme caution:
1. Never take Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis if you are taking medications that eliminate pain in the chest due to heart problems (cardiac angina).

- nitroglycerine;
- isosorbide dinitrate;
- isosorbide mononitrate;

Viagra
Do not underestimate the importance of sexual life for a person regardless of his age. Today, many men have problems with erection, leading to the development of inferiority complex and depression. Drug to combat erectile dysfunction – Viagra – can help in solving these problems. This drug activates natural body functions that cause an erection. Numerous studies of Viagra use confirm its effectiveness in the treatment of erectile dysfunction regardless of factors that cause the disease. There is evidence that the drug works effectively in the treatment of impotence caused by increased blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, psychological trauma and other psychological problems, violation of arterial and venous circulation in tissues of the penis, as well as sclerotic vessel changes.
The drug is available in the form of pills, which must be taken 30 minutes before planned sexual intercourse. The advantage of Viagra is in the fact that it begins to act only if there is an object of sexual excitement and can not induce a man to commit actions that he initially was not capable of. Do not be afraid of the appearance of maniacs committing sex crimes under the influence of Viagra. This drug helps a man to become himself, awakening his natural ability to erect. The drug action lasts four hours. It should not be taken more than once a day.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, patients who took Viagra responded to its action enthusiastically. But we must not forget that even the most miraculous means can not replace a warm relationship and affection. For complete satisfaction in sex, hard penis alone is not enough, love is also needed because the ability to normal steady erection is not the key to happiness in your personal life. But if you started taking this medicine, do not forget about precautionary measures, the main one of which is not to take the drug with nitrates, monitor the level of blood pressure and refuse to take this remedy when allergic reactions occur.
