Can I Use Viagra After Triple Bypass Surgery?
Question: can I use viagra after triple bypass surgery 8 weeks ago?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After 8 weeks of bypass surgery, the heart has usually recovered enough to indulge in a sexual activity. But the medications like nitrates and anti hypertensives which are usually prescribed after the surgery should be carefully used with the medications like Viagra.
If there is any intermittent chest pain or shortness of breath then taking Viagra is not advisable. You must consult your cardiologist regarding this to avoid any drug interactions.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
