Does Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride Interfere With Viagra?
I have used viagra for several years and it has always worked well for me, until last weekend, when it did not work at all. The only things that seemed different were: (1) about 24 hours before using viagra, I took a dose of cialis; (2) I was also taking extended release pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (120 mg). Would either of these interfere with Viagra... and if so, then for how long???

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Pseudoephedrine has a side-effect of causing drowsiness, hence reducing arousal. A sexual arousal is needed for the action of Viagra.Just swallowing a Viagra tablet will not give rise to erection.Having taken it in the dose mentioned, it's best to wait for you to become absolutely alert and free of drowsiness, before taking the next Viagra tablet.
