Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Viagra can be used in Hypertensives with Osteoporosis, but it should be used with caution. You must rule out any liver or kidney disease before starting viagra, start it at the lowest dose of 25 mg after consulting with your physician.
You can combine it with Amlodipine and Ramipril, but not with other anti hypertensives like alpha blockers.
You need to rule out the presence of any Coronary Artery Disease before starting this medicine.
While using, watch out for warning symptoms like - chest pain, nausea, dizziness, headache, blurred vision or any other discomforts during sex. If any such symptoms appear, you need immediate medical help.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Regards.
