Erectile dysfunction medications and nitrates: A dangerous mix

Medications prescribed for treatment of erectile dysfunction may cause significant side effects when mixed with certain heart drugs called nitrates.

Nitrates are often prescribed to reduce chest pain, dilate the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Because erectile dysfunction medications, such as sildenafil (Viagra), also reduce blood pressure, combining these two types of medication can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Do not buy sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra) or tadalafil (Cialis) online if you use nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, for chest pain.

If you have coronary artery disease or have had a heart attack in recent months, be sure to check with your doctor before you begin taking any of these drugs for erectile dysfunction.
