Before you take Viagra you should make an appointment with a qualified medical doctor. During this time you would reveal many things that would determine whether this ED drug is right for you.
Health Disclosures
While you seek an examination before obtaining Viagra you should let your doctor know of any and all existing health conditions you currently deal with.
Major concerns include if you were to have blood diseases such as leukemia or sickle cell anemia or high blood pressure. Other concerns include if you have liver disease or liver failure.
Other major concerns that pertain to Viagra users is how you would react if you have ever had a heart attack. The same is true if you struggle with either too low or too high of blood pressure.
You should not only reveal your present health condition but you should also reveal your past health condition. Any health problem no matter how minor that is not mentioned above should be revealed.
You should probably tell your doctor about any food or medicine allergies you have ever had. This also can gauge your ED treatment course and determine whether Viagra is right for you.
Additional health conditions you should disclose with your doctor include these (historical or current occurrence):
- Priapism (painful erection lasting longer than four hours)
- Retinitis pigmentosa (rare eye problem)
- Multiple myeloma
- Peyronie’s disease or other penile deformity
Medicinal Disclosures
During your doctor’s appointment during which time you may or may not be given Viagra there is one other huge concern the doctor will have. That is he or she will want to know what kinds of medications you take.
You should tell this professional about all prescription and over the counter medications and remedies you use right now. This includes all antacids, cold medicines, allergy treatments, and anything else you buy over the counter along with any doctor-administered drug or treatment.
You should let your doctor know about any and all treatments whether they are administered orally or taken topically. You should also disclose to your medical physician any and all injections you use or any other medicine-even ones administered anally.
You should also tell your doctor about vitamins, herbs, and supplements you use. This will help prevent any type of reaction to the Viagra that could occur.
By the way, if you have used any other prescription medication such as Cialis or Levitra you also should not take Viagra within 24 hours of taking these.
