What Are The Side Effects Of Diltiazem?
Brief Answer:
detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
There is no major interaction between these 2 drugs ,what means that they can be taken together but you may need to consult it with your doctor because Diltiazem can increase the level of Sildenafil in blood and increase it's effect.
This can produce side effects like dizziness,fainting ,lightheadedness, fainting,shortness of breath, prolonged and painful erection, irregular heartbeats etc.All these can be symptoms of high levels of Sildenafil in blood
I would suggest not to start taking Fildena (Sildenafil) without consulting it first with your treating doctor.
He may decide to do some dose modifications (like start with a lower dose of Sildenafil) to avoid any possible side effect.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
