It’s not only about Viagra – all drugs should be taken according to certain rules. It’s especially important if you mix them up with alcohol because it can either break down the desired effect of the medication or worsen your health.
Viagra & Alcohol: Compatibility
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), as well as Premature Ejaculation (PE), can be affected by alcohol. Most men suffering from sexual dysfunctions also suffer from alcohol dependence. It mostly happens because alcohol lowers your blood pressure and affects the activity of your heart.
One of the side-effects of Viagra is a drop in blood pressure. When mixed with alcohol, it leads to critically low blood pressure levels. You can get very weak, you may start suffering from headaches and you can even faint.
It doesn’t mean that the medication won’t give you a positive effect – your ED function will be restored as usual. The problem is that you can suffer horrific health conditions after it.
Viagra & Alcohol: Side Effects
You’ll have to wait for at least 30 minutes until Viagra starts working. The basic side effects can appear either in the process of the sexual contact or later. They are temporary and they mean that you just have to visit your physician to make sure you take the right dosage.
The basic side effects include:
- Nausea;
- Problems with your vision;
- A temporary feeling of unconsciousness;
- Upset stomach;
- Headaches.
All types of original and generic Viagra mixed together with alcohol may cause:
- Light-headedness;
- Loss of consciousness;
- Strong headaches;
- Giddiness;
- Blurred vision;
- Heart palpitations.
In addition to the side-effects mentioned above, a severe overdose of Viagra mixed with alcohol can provoke:
- Heart strokes;
- Arrhythmia;
- Painful erections;
- Difficulty breathing;
- Rash;
- Allergic swelling.
Emergency
- If you experience one of the symptoms mentioned above, the only way out is to stop if you’re having sex and call the emergency in case if the side-effects are severe.
- In case if you feel like you can beat the symptoms on your own and meet your physician a bit later, try to be slow in movements. Avoid sudden moves and if you have to stand up from the bed, do it as slowly as possible. Contact your physician the next day and discuss your further treatment.
- Next time you have Viagra with alcohol, don’t forget to eat nutritious and healthy food. This lowers any side-effects in case if you drink in moderation. An empty stomach can provoke intense side-effects even if you haven’t been drinking alcohol.
If you don’t want to experience a weak sexual performance and if you don’t want to ruin your health, you have to be careful before you combine any type of Viagra with alcohol. The best advice is not to take alcohol at all. However, if you’re not an alcoholic, but you need or have to drink, you should do your best to limit the consumption to a beer or a glass of wine.
Alcohol suppresses the activity of the nervous system. Viagra components stimulate the blood flow. In case if you mix two of them together, and if you drink too much alcohol, it can lead to a stroke. This is because your heart will be beating hard making the blood rush to your midsection areas while the brain will be suppressed by alcohol. Our main recommendation is to stay moderate if you don’t want to suffer from side-effects and get maximum pleasure from the moment of intimacy.
