Viagra

This drug has been classified as FDA pregnancy category B. It is not expected to do harm to an unborn baby, but may pass to breast milk. Therefore, every woman intending to use Viagra should first talk to her doctor about it. Never combine Viagra with isosorbide mononitrate, nitrates and isosorbide dinitrate, as these medications can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. Your doctor must know your full medical history, as some conditions that you have may increase the risk of developing serious side effects. The following medical conditions must be reported to your doctor before starting the treatment: stomach ulcer, blood cell disorder, bleeding disorder, coronary artery disease, heart attack, abnormal blood pressure, history of a stroke, and kidney disease. Tell your doctor if you are already using high blood pressure medicines, mibefradil, azole antifungals, cimetidine, rifamycins, HIV protease inhibitors, erythromycin, other medications for impotence, or alpha-blocker medications, as your treatment may be reconsidered because of health risks.
