General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Revatio contains 'sildenafil', which relaxes muscles found in the walls of blood vessels and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. It is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, improve exercise capacity in men and women, as well as erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men.
Viagra is another brand of sildenafil, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men.
You can take any of the above drugs which you prefer to, but do not exceed the dose as Revatio is 20 mg and Viagra comes in 25/50/100 mg.
Also, do not take Revatio while also taking Viagra, as it may lead to aggravation of side effects caused by these drugs.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
