Brief Answer:
Yes you can take it, better to have prescription

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

Viagra contains sildenafil. It is 5-PDE inhibitor group of medicines. It is proven drug for male erectile dysfunction. It should be used 2 hours prior to sex. It causes headache, stuffy nose nausea and gastric discomfort like common side effects. Proper physical check-up of cardiac system should be done by a doctor before starting the same. These are prescription medicines and you need to consult doctor/psychiatrist/sexologist for the prescription.
So first consult doctor, get examined yourself and take the prescription. If any side effect occurs, local doctor can help.

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