Brief Answer:
Try with lowest possible dose
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Sildenafil can lower the blood pressure, so it should be used with caution with other BP medicines like Betaloc and Telpres AM.
You may take it occasionally with lowest possible doses. Sildenafil's dose can be lowered to 25 mg or even lower to start with.
Keep your doctor informed about its use.
