Question : can I take Viagra and tamsulosin

Answered by Dr. salah saad shoman (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Use together with caution

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns,

But unfortunately, these two medications have a moderate interaction together and should be used with caution...

Combining these medications can lower your blood pressure and increase the risk of dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, flushing, headache, and nasal congestion.

I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to ask further.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Viagra can help with the urinary symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, Hello again..

It seems that you are suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia.. However, recent reports have shown that viagra can treat the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia in addition to treating the erectile dysfunction...

If your symptoms become worse or did not improve despite taking this, then you should consider prostatic resection...

I hope you find this helpful...

Kind regards
