Does Intake Of Viagra Help In Curing Erectile Dysfunction And BPH?

default
Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2016
Question: Sir/Ma'am: I am taking daily Cialis (5mg) for BPH. My girlfriend and I had sex but I was only 50% firm, although I still managed an orgasm. I never had any trouble with ED before, so I am wondering if it could be a symptom from taking the daily Cialis. Further, I was told not to take any Viagra or other Cialis tablets while I was on the 5mg; however, the Viagra bottle says the tablets are 100mg. If this happens again, could I take 1/2 a Viagra tab (50mg)? At most, it seems I'd only have 55mgs in my system instead of the 100mgs when taking the entire tablet. I am not interested in BP so low that I collapse! Thank you!

Brief Answer:
ED can be due to BPH itself, Cilais is rather helping

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Cialis (tadalafil) is used for erectile dysfunction as well as in BPH. Most of the patients suffer from ED sometime. For ED dos e of Cialis is required in range of 10 to 40 mg.

Cialis and viagra are same group of drugs belonging to 5-PDE inhibitors. Cialis has less side effects than viagra. I recommend take higher dose of Cialis before two hours of sex rather than adding viagra.

And second choice is add viagra 50 mg before sex.

You can discuss with your treating doctor and solve problem of ED.

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