Can Levitra And BP Medication Be Taken Together?
Question: I take Levitra - I also take blood pressure medicine twice per day plus a fluid retention pill. Do my medications cause any negative effect for Levitra - I am taking 20mg.
Brief Answer:
cannot be used with nitrates but need to check other meds
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Levitra is contraindicated (cannot be used with) nitrates which are used in heart disease and high blood pressure.
This includes medications such as isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate,nitroglycerin.
This is the most widely known interaction though others may be possible.
If you can list the exact medications that you are using so that they can be checked for interactions then this would be best.
There are some blood pressure medications that are perfectly fine with this medications and others that may cause a problem but would need to check which medication is being used.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
