Is Intake Of Viagra Safe Post A Cataract Surgery?
Question: post cataract take viagra
Brief Answer:
you can take it after 1 week
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
although viagra is not supposed to cause serious problems after cataract surgery, you'd better take it only after at least one week has passed to reduce the risk of increasing ocular pressure. The eye may have increased pressure for a week after surgery (and lower thereafter) and viagra may also cause ocular pressure elevation.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
