Posted on Mon, 6 Jul 2015
Question: Hello Doctor,

I am male 28 I have been suffering from premature ejaculation for the past 2 years . Recently i got married 11 months back ... now we have planned to have a baby so i visited an sexologist regarding my issue the doctor prescribed me first Nanoleo capsules , Dapodafil (Dapoxetine & tadalafil) , Pan D tablets. i took them before sex and premature ejaculation has been stopped but i am unable to penetrate my penile in to my wife vagina. so again i visited my doctor and this time he prescribed me "sildanafil citrate 100 mg" for 30 days. so here my main question is ? can i take this blue pill daily to have sex with my wife in order to get conceive. Also will there be any side effects while taking sildanafil citrate daily? will it affect sperm count,motility etc.. ?

Brief Answer:
Can be continued,watch for side effects, contact doctor if occurs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
The drug can be continued but it is better to see doctor for examination, mainly your Blood pressure.

You have to understand that sildenafil citrate is a treatment, not a cure, for erectile dysfunction. Few studies have shown that men with erectile dysfunction take Viagra every night, rather than just when the mood strikes them, they may experience a return to normal erections, so no harm in taking daily.

Side effects include dizziness, headache, flushing, or stomach upset may occur. Vision changes such as increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision may also occur, when ever you experience these i would suggest you yo see doctor. Also i advice you to tell about this drug, to a doctor whom you visit, may be for some other illness, so as to avoid any drug interaction. Sildenafil does not have an adverse effect on sperm function or ejaculate quality.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely.
