I am on medication for hypertension and alpha blocker for prostate enlargement. I am also taking antidepressant tablet. Am I allowed to take viagra after a gap of more than 4 hrs. From the time I took alpha blocker namely dynapres 0. 4 (tamsulosin chloride). What is the dosage recommended for viagra and the precautions to be taken?

4 hours gap between the two drugs is enough. You can use 100 mg. Check whether there is hydrochlorothiazide in your bp drugs. For using viagra--you should not use nitrate group of drugs; you should be able to do treadmill up to 6 mets. Inform the doctor treating you, if you had viagra 24 hours earlier.
