Brief Answer:
cialis is better option than viagra

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

At age of 70 with blood pressure it is difficult to deal with sex problem by using over the counter.

One medicine cum vitamin supplement containing pyridoxal-5-phosphate, mecobalamin and l-methylfolate (trade name tetrafol plus or metanex)is very helpful in my patients. It has shown improvement in 50-60% patients of mine with blood pressure and diabetes. You should take it after meal twice a day. If you feel some improvement in 20 days you should continue for at least 2 months. You may get this medicine over the counter as it is vitamin product.

However for fast results drugs like viagra is preferred.
5-PDE inhibitor group of medicines includes sildenafil (viagra) or tadalafil (cialis). It is proven drug for male erectile dysfunction. One of them should be used 2 hours prior to sex. They cause headache, stuffy nose nausea and gastric discomfort like common side effects. Proper physical check-up of cardiac system should be done by a doctor before starting the same. These are prescription medicines and you need to consult doctor/psychiatrist/sexologist for the prescription. Cialis has relatively less side effects and well tolerated than viagra in patients with blood pressure.
You can go for cialis after consulting your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
