Is Taking Viagra Safe For An 81 Year Old Man?
I m dating an 81 year old man who has had prostrate cancer and had a radiation seed to kill his cancer. This was about 10 years ago. His physician assistant gave him a sample of viagra today and told him to take one pill if that doesn t work take another viagra. I don t want him to die on me. He has no apparent heart conditions.

Hi,
This type of medicine should be avoided at this age but as he does not have blood pressure or cardiac ailment and advised by physician one tablet of 50 mg daily he can take.
Avoid taking second tablet.
Ok and take care.
