Will Taking Caverta & Forzest Have Any Side Effects On Sexual Health?

Hi.. I am a 39 year old male with no medical issue though my father has had bypass cardiac surgery twice. I go to gym regularly n have fairly good diet. height is 5 10 n weight is 77kgs. I have been taking caverta 50 mg since many years n increased the dose to 100mg n also taking forzest 20mg. I have been in many relationships but at times if erection was weak to make it strong i increased the dose. Now am scared with increasing age n plaaning to get married, will i be able to satisfy my wife by continuing these medications. My past relations have said sex was good with me but still worried as with some of the partners could not get strong erections at times n also if this continued drug use will have any adverse effects? Thanks......

HI,
THANKS FOR USING HEALTHCARE MAGIC.
THE DRUGS YOU ARE USING CAVERTA (SILDENAFIL) AND FORZEST (TEDALAFIL) ACTS IN A SIMILAR WAY (BLOCKING THE SAME ENZYME) AND HENCE THERE IS NO NEED TO TAKE BOTH THE MEDICATIONS.
THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THESE MEDICATIONS ARE HEADACHE, FLUSHING OF FACE, COLOURED VISION, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION ETC. SINCE YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF CARDIAC ILLNESS IT IS BETTER TO GET AN ECG DONE. YOU CAN TRY TO PERFORM WITHOUT THESE MEDICATIONS; RELAX YOURSELF BEFORE INTERCOURSE AND IF YOU FIND YOUR ERECTION IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH, THEN CONSULT AN UROLOGIST / PSYCHIATRIST AND FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. THANK YOU.
