Posted on Tue, 7 Jul 2015

Question: Can I take Viagra when I am on sotoger

Answered by Dr. Noble Zachariah (29 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Can be used with dosage reduction of Viagra

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Sotoger is Sotalol which is a beta-blocker. It decreases the metabolism and clearance of Viagra by the liver. So if the two are to be used together, the dose of Viagra should be reduced by one third.
Viagra has severe life threatening reaction with Nitrates and they should not be taken by the same person.
Take care
