Is It Safe To Take Viagra With History Of Coronary Bypass Surgery?

You should take a prescription first
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
some of the drugs we use in coronary artery disease have a similar action with viagra and cialis. Using viagra (or cialis) on top of your standard regimen may cause hypotension and symptoms of faintness or syncope, particularly if nitrates are part of your regimen. Actually both of these drugs may cause such symptoms even if you don't take any other drugs. Since you already have vascular disease, you'd better consult your cardiologist regarding their use. Your cardiologist is the best person to give you personal advice. General advice does not apply to every individual!
If your cardiologist does approve their use, I would recommend starting from the lowest dose and escalating according to their efficacy and potential side effects.
Kind Regards!
