Viagra Professional and Influenza
Viagra Professional is available in blue tablets, and it is quite available on the pharmaceutical market. Like common Viagra, it is based on sildenafil citrate and its effect lies in masking phosphodiestrase 5 - an enzyme, which restricts blood flow to the penile chambers and therefore hampers erection. Compared to its preceding version, Viagra Professional possesses additional stimulating properties and is better absorbed by the body.
Viagra Professional is not sold without a prescription, because it has contraindications and may cause serious adverse events. There are drugs which do not mix well with sildenafil. For instance, concomitant use of sildenafil with alpha blockers and other vasodilators can cause your blood pressure to drop to unsafe levels. Co-administration with nitrates, which are used to treat heart problems, is potentially dangerous, and there have been lethal outcomes.
So far, there is little certainty on the drug's action on the body affected by acute infections, because this is not fully researched yet. In any event, if you are dealing with influenza infection and still feel fit for a sexual adventure and would like to boost your sexuality by aid of Viagra Professional, extreme caution is required. Symptoms of flu include low blood pressure and breathing difficulties, and sildenafil can have an additive effect on these symptoms.
Flu symptoms come on suddenly, starting with weakness and fever. Fever usually lasts 2 to 4 days, while weakness may persist 2 weeks, even after the infection has been expelled from the body. During this period, sexual dysfunction is more likely to occur because of low pressure and hence poor blood flow to the penis. In this situation, some people see no better way to regain sexual function but to use Viagra Professional, which, they believe, guarantees fast improvement without the slightest detriment to the body. However, this is the time of doubled probability of adverse reactions due to sildenafil's hypotensive action. Although there is no scientific evidence of Viagra's influence on the course of the disease, is advisable to refrain from sexual activity during this period.
Viagra may interact and, consequently, aggravate the side effects, if any, caused by drugs used for treatment of influenza infection. Some adverse effects caused by these medicines (headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, etc.) are common to people with a general predisposition to blood pressure disorders. Concomitant use of Viagra Professional with anti-influenza medicines (oseltamivir, zanamivir, amantadine, rimantadine, etc.) may lead to serious gastrointestinal and nervous system effects. If any side effects occur during your influenza treatment course, using Viagra Professional is absolutely inadmissible.
