Viagra Professional and Alpha Blockers
Viagra Professional is an advanced version of Viagra featuring several unique qualities and properties, which place it a step above all other ED drugs. It is more rapidly absorbed than its predecessor and it increases sensitivity of penile nerves. The medicine is based on sildenafil citrate - a powerful enzyme inhibitor, which possesses a unique selective property. Sildenafil inhibits phosphodiestrase type 5, an enzyme that keeps penile muscle tight and therefore impedes blood flow to the penile chambers. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are referred to as PDE5 inhibitors.
Viagra Professional is sold in blue film-coated tablets, and it requires a written prescription. In some cases, the drug can affect blood pressure, which can have serious consequences for some people. There are medicines, which potentiate sildenafil's hypertensive action, and therefore should not be combined with it. It is a well-known fact that co-administration of Viagra professional with alpha blockers, which are used to treat high blood pressure and other disorders, such as prostatic hypertrophy and tumors. Concomitant use of these drugs can contribute to a drastic drop in blood pressure, because both sildenafil and alpha-blocking agents have strong blood pressure lowering effects. The most commonly prescribed alpha blockers include phentolamine, terazosin, doxazosin and tamsulosin.
If you are undergoing a therapy course with alpha-blockers, make sure you have no side effects. Even if there are no adverse reactions, you should not start taking Viagra professional without a doctor's consultation. If patients do not show any signs of instability on alpha-blocker treatment, PDE5 therapy should be started at the lowest dose. Patients, who are already using PDE5 inhibitors, should regard alpha-blocker therapy with caution too. If you have no Viagra-related side effects, your doctor can prescribe you a low-dose initial alpha-blocker treatment course. If you have any signs of blood pressure falling below safe levels, stop co-administering Viagra Professional with other drugs immediately.
Viagra Professional must be used with caution by people having a history of hypotension and cardiac problems. The most common signs of low blood pressure include weakness, dizziness, nausea, frequent heartbeat, sweating and fatigue. If you have any of these manifestations, stop using Viagra professional and turn to your physician.
