Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending your question.
You have indicated that you are currently taking medication for control of blood pressure and for prevention of symptoms related to gout. Neither of these medications are contraindicated for use in patients who are also using Viagra or Cialis.
I would recommend that you talk about this with your primary care physician to see if he or she has any additional concerns with you potentially using Cialis or Viagra and I would not use any medication for erectile dysfunction without the prior consultation with your doctor.
Thank you again for sending your question.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
