WARNINGS
VIAGRA is only for patients with ED.
VIAGRA is not for newborns, children, or women. Do not
let anyone else take your VIAGRA. VIAGRA must be used
only under a health care provider's supervision.
Before you start any treatment of
VIAGRA, be sure to ask your Health Care Provider if
your heart is healthy enough. If you're a man who uses
nitrate drugs, like nitroglycerine, never take VIAGRA.
The combination of VIAGRA and nitrates can make your
blood pressure suddenly drop to unsafe levels. You
could get dizzy, faint, or even have a heart attack or
stroke. Nitrates are found in many prescription
medications that are used to treat angina (chest pain
due to heart disease) such as:
Nitroglycerin (sprays, ointments, skin
patches or pastes, and tablets that are swallowed or
dissolved in the mouth) Isosorbide mononitrate and
isosorbide dinitrate (tablets that are swallowed,
chewed, or dissolved in the mouth) Nitrates are also
found in recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or
nitrite ("poppers"). If you are not sure if any of
your medications contain nitrates, or if you do not
understand what nitrates are, ask your health care
provider or pharmacist
|
Substances such as
amyl nitrate (poppers), which are sometimes
abused, should never be combined with VIAGRA. VIAGRA
is not contraindicated with nitrates found in
foods.
