All three of the erection enhancing drugs, Viagra, Levitas and Cialis
can not be taken by anyone using nitrates or alpha blockers. The
combination of the drugs may induce a sudden large drop in blood
pressure. Sorry

Better news today. I was in hospital over the weekend with angina. The
chest x-ray showed slight fluid on my lung and they said my GP would
sort that out. I saw my GP today and he has taken me off the nitrates
medication and put me on a stronger water tablet. His reasoning is
that my heart was working overtime because of the fluid on my lung and
once the fluid is taken care of my heart can live quieter and of
course once I am off the nitrate stuff I can take viagra again;-)
