Can I Use Viagra During ED ?

My friend has been hypertensive since the age of 26. He is now 52. Due to taking hypertensive and cholesterol controlling medications, he has permanent ED. He is taking Viagra (sparingly he says) for sex with the frequency of 3-4 times a week. I am very concerned because of the horror stories regarding Viagra. 1) Is Viagra safe for the frequency that he is taking now? 2) Are there alternative methods to reversing ED? 3) He is an MD ( Neurologist ) and his wife is also an MD. Can a safe dosage be self- administered since they are both doctors?

hi
as he has hypertension he must regular check his blood pressure once a wk
what the dose he is taking is okay
and if taken with caution there is no chance of side effect
there is no other effective way to reverse ED in his case
if they can monitor themselves then he can take it safely
I find this answer helpful
