Read on to get the answer to all your questions.
Treatment with Viagra or other Sildenafil-containing medicines has a specific therapeutic role for people with COVID. The study of people on artificial lung ventilation gave these data. It was found that Sildenafil dilates the blood vessels of the lungs and improves systemic circulation.
However, only 40 people participated in this study. And unfortunately, there is not enough evidence for the effectiveness of therapy. It is necessary to continue such studies and examine this issue in detail so that we can come to particular conclusions.
Can I take Viagra after COVID?
According to some estimates, 10–25% of people infected with COVID-19 have symptoms of the infection for more than 1–3 months after recovery. These conditions can be chronic and adversely affect health, as well as social, family and sexual life.
If we mean long-term health effects, when after infection, a man still has some severe symptoms, you should discuss the use of Viagra with a doctor.
Here are the situations when it is essential to do this:
- If damage to the lungs causes a decrease in ventilation and gas diffusion capabilities;
- If you have cardiovascular symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, or increased heart rate.
If you have relatively normal health and feel well after recovery, you can continue to take ED pills.
Is it safe to take Viagra after the COVID vaccine?
In general, it is safe, but there may be exceptions.
As with all medicines, vaccines can have side effects. These reactions usually appear within a few hours of use and go away quickly.
You may also have reactions that persist for several days or longer:
- Headaches;
- Fever;
- Malaise;
- Muscle pain.
Viagra can potentially exacerbate existing side effects. It is especially true for headaches, the most frequent adverse reaction you can have while taking ED meds.
This information may be important to you:
- AstraZeneca vaccine and Viagra. According to the WHO, AstraZeneca causes thrombosis in rare cases. Viagra dilates the blood vessels, which in theory, reduces the likelihood of thrombosis.
- Viagra, after the Pfizer vaccine, slightly increases the risk of myocarditis. You can experience this rare side effect when using the Pfizer vaccine and ED pills.
Can you take Viagra just after having the COVID vaccine?
You can do this, but it is hardly a good idea. After vaccination, doctors recommended refraining from physical activities, including sex.
Is it safe to take Viagra before the COVID vaccine?
Important information! Before vaccination, tell a doctor about any prescription medications or natural supplements you have taken recently. It is vital to inform a doctor about drugs that suppress or otherwise affect the immune system.
We know a little about the COVID-19 vaccine and Viagra interaction. We found no information that you should not use ED meds before vaccination.
Conclusion
We have to be very careful when discussing any potential treatments for COVID-19. People should not harm themselves by using drugs that have not passed all the necessary clinical trials.
Different COVID-19 vaccines are approved in Australia. Large-scale clinical trials confirm the safety and efficacy of all drugs. There is no good reason to say Viagra for COVID-19 is effective. Perhaps it can help some people in the hospital, but only a doctor can decide on this treatment method.
If you do not want to stop your ED treatment, you can most likely take Viagra before and after vaccination. However, there may be situations where you should not do it or should do it with caution. To be safe, consult your doctor before combining any pharmaceutical products.
