Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is safe to take Viagra in your clinical situation.

You should just be careful to bisoprolol, which can interact with Viagra.

For this reason I would recommend reducing the dose of bisoprolol the day that you are going to take Viagra and take these drug separately ( in different meals).

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,
