Violations of sexual function associated with age-related changes or presence of a variety of diseases, is quite frequent phenomenon. In recent years, number of young men complaining on problems with potency is constantly increasing. Reasons for this are numerous – bad ecological situation, improper nutrition with predominance of artificial food, absence of daily regimen, physical and psychological overload, state of constant stress. All this has a very negative effect on male sexual system.
Fortunately, in such situations, the famous «blue pill» comes to the rescue. Since invention of Viagra and emergence of other means against erectile dysfunction, men obtained a reliable assistant, which allows to cope with existing problems and saves from extremely destructive sense of your own disability.
But there are several questions regarding compatibility of blue pills with certain products and medications. First of all, it concerns alcohol. So, can we take Viagra and alcoho ltogether?
To understand whether it is possible to take this drug with alcohol, you need to find out how these substances affect functions of the body.
This drug is based on active substance sildenafil citrate. It works as a substance that helps to expand vessels of pelvic organs and increase blood circulation in them. Since erection is associated with filling of cavernous of penis with blood, use of this drug helps to obtain stable erection. There is erection – therefore, nothing prevents full sexual intercourse. And since sildenafil is not excreted from blood immediately, sexual intercourse may well be repeated several times.
When using the drug, you need to take into account the fact that this remedy is not a sexual stimulant, that is, under its action erection does not occur «automatically». You need appropriate sexual stimulus, that is, an object of desire.
But is it possible to take Viagra with alcohol?
Theoretically, nothing terrible when taking small doses of alcohol should occur. Alcoholic drinks expand blood vessels, promote relaxation of nervous system and production of pleasure hormones – endorphins. They neutralize stress hormone – cortisol, which prevales in the body of most modern people, especially inhabitants of large noisy and polluted cities.
After drinking, a person becomes live, more relaxed, open and sociable. It becomes easier to communicate with the opposite sex, especially when it comes to the first sexual intercourse in the pair.
Everything would be fine if such a man had no problems with erection and he would not take Viagra.
Although there are no absolute contraindications and complete ban on use of alcohol along with Viagra, doctors strongly do not recommend simultaneous intake of these two substances.
How does Viagra interact with alcohol? The fact is that both sildenafil and alcohol in one thing affect person the same way, and in the other – completely the opposite, and this can cause big health problems.
Both alcohol and means of sexual impotence contribute to expansion of blood vessels. Such double «attack» on cardiovascular system of a person can have a very negative impact on its condition, causing a kind of overload. If a person has problems with heart and vascular health, then additional load in the form of sildenafil can trigger heart attack or even much more serious health consequences.
Many men, especially those over the age of 40, often note that drug intake is accompanied by redness of face and neck, blood flow to upper body and even dizziness. If you add alcoholic beverages to these symptoms, consequences can be extremely unpleasant.
Use of erectile dysfunction drugs always requires preliminary visit to doctor and necessary comprehensive examination, tests and samples. It is necessary, at least for your own peace of mind, so that use of this drug does not end in a hospital bed. Only after such examination doctor can recommend dosage of a preparation or limit its use. In some cases, receipt of the means may be prohibited.
In no case, you should not mix alcohol and Viagra in the following situations and with such diseases:
Examination is necessary to identify presence of potential health problems. Even if the drug does not have negative impact on health, its combination with alcohol can give a completely unexpected negative and dangerous result.
The most dangerous thing that can happen while taking sildenafil with alcohol is sharp expansion of walls of vessels, which can provoke their rupture and hemorrhage. If a large vessel in a vital place is involved, for example, in brain, consequences may turn out to be the saddest.
The same will happen in case of separation and migration of thrombus. This condition can cause pulmonary embolism or heart attack.
Even if we do not consider extreme cases, then sharp deterioration in state of health at the most crucial moment can completely ruin everything and adversely affect further relations of the couple. In addition, use of Viagra with alcohol contradicts elementary logic. If you even slightly abuse alcohol, then even in a healthy man problems with potency may occur. And when it comes to a person with erectile dysfunction, drinking alcohol can play a completely detrimental role. Relaxing a man psychologically, it will deprive him of any hope of achieving erection, even with the help of blue pills.
Although small portions of alcohol have ability to stimulate sexual apparatus, strengthening and improving blood circulation and causing penis to fill with blood, only slightly increased dosage will give completely opposite effect of alcohol. At the same time, risk of negative impact on the body of alcohol alone sharply and rapidly increases. A combination of Viagra and alcohol can have unpredictable results.
It may happen that even use of this reliable means to strengthen potency will not work, since all its effect will be leveled by effect of alcohol. Sildenafil will not fight with erection disorder, but with consequences of alcohol abuse.
This is view only on mechanism of effect of excess alcohol on the work of genital organs. If you add rapid increase in the load on all systems of the body, you can understand that with such worsening state of health, there obviously will not be any mood for sexual entertainment. Meanwhile, the use of sildenafil pills was intended for this purpose, but on the way of satisfaction and enjoyment the eternal enemy of mankind appeared – «that blasted whisky». Now you know if alcohol is compatible with blue pills.
Summarizing the above, we can draw the following conclusions:
Ideally, of course, it is worth to avoid drinking alcohol in combination with any medications. Equally close attention should be paid to the fact that, apart from sildenafil drug and alcohol, a man takes other medicines. Their combination can be very risky, so it is vitally important for such patients to consult attending physician.
Of course, no one can force to drink alcohol or refuse to take it completely, but one must always take into account its potential incompatibility with various medications. Even if there is no categorical contraindication to such combination, it is better to avoid potential danger than to regret for a long time hasty and thoughtless decision. It must always be remembered that use of alcoholic drinks, especially strong and in large quantities, is fraught with health consequences in any case. If we add here the fact that use of sildenafil is forbidden to men with tendency to heart and blood problems, and mortality from heart attacks and blood strokes in the stronger sex over 40 is extremely high, then the question of such risky combination of two potentially unsafe products should not even be considered.
We remind you: Viagra and alcohol compatibility is equal to zero! Do not take risks. It’s really dangerous!
