Viagra and Alcohol
Tweet
Speaking about interaction between Viagra and alcoholic drinks, you should keep in mind that almost any rational physician will warn you against taking Viagra with alcohol. On the other hand, a lot of people assert that Viagra is unlikely to cause some problems while taking with alcohol (of course they mean certain conditions such as a healthy man, moderate amount of alcohol and recommended dosage of Viagra).
Let's examine what happens in body when a man drinks alcohol and takes Viagra. Viagra dilates blood vessels just as almost any alcoholic drink does. If the man has some problems with his health, it may cause a rapid heart rate, dizziness and low blood pressure. It means that you should take a health checkup to make sure that you have no problems with your heart and blood pressure.
What do producers of Viagra say about interaction between Viagra and alcoholic drinks?
Any erectile dysfunction drug is believed to be tested with alcohol. That's why it's very important to know the manufacturers' opinion on this issue. And they say that it is not expected to cause problems when sildenafil citrate interacts with alcohol. There even special researches on Viagra and alcohol were conducted that showed no problems in men who had taken both substances. Of course this talk isn't about heavy drinkers!
What may happen when a person takes a lot of alcohol with Viagra?
Since both alcohol and Viagra dilate blood vessels, the person may feel dizziness and tachycardia. He may feel his heart beating faster and there may be some problems connected with low blood pressure.
So we can make some conclusions. It's better to avoid drinking alcohol with taking Viagra if you know (or even suspect!) that you have some problems with your heart or blood pressure. If you are not sure whether you have such problems, you should consult your doctor. If you are a healthy man and want to try Viagra with alcohol, you should follow the rules taking respective dosage of Viagra and don't overdo with alcohol! Be careful with your wish to take a greater dose of Viagra in this case, because alcohol very often depresses Viagra! And if you feel bad after taking Viagra with alcoholic drinks, you must stop such experiments and consult your physician.
