Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Thanks for writing to us.

You have well narrated your basic profile. Edegra (sildenafil) is used for erectile dysfunction. It should be taken 2 hours prior to intercourse.

No BP, No diabetes and good health are positive factors in your history.No significant interaction between rosuvastatin and sildenafil. You can take Edegra safely I guess.

However common side effects are headache, flushing,dyspepsia, nasal congestion, urinary Tract Infection,abnormal Vision,diarrhea, dizziness, and rash.Prior to starting this medicine I prefer to do ECG and visual check up at this age.These investigations will help as baseline of the cardiac and visual functioning. Considering these facts you should consult doctor before starting drug on your own. And by chance if any side effect occurs , local doctor can help immediately.

Hope I have answered your query,feel free to discuss further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
