Hi, Can I take a viagra? If yes, on what doses? I m 34 year old male. Physically healthy with good medical checkup report, but in June 2016 I had one stent implanted on my heart due to SCAD. Right now everday I m taking Aspirin 100mg & Glycine 45mg, Clopidogrel 75mg, Perinpopril 4mg, Bisoprolol fumarate 2.5mg, and lastly Atovarstatin 20mg. To add more concern, I believed I have erectile dysfunction (ED) Advice please. Thanks.

Hi,

Viagra is a treatment for erectile dysfunction. There is still the issue of whether someone is healthy enough for intercourse and this needs evaluation prior to starting.

Beta blockers (Bisoprolol) are a risk for ED; they do not interact badly with Viagra by themselves but the underlying condition is an issue that needs addressing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
