Alcohol and Erectile Dysfunction Drugs
Male potency depends on many factors, including alcohol. Alcohol can cause erectile dysfunction and even lead to impotence – the inability to complete sexual intercourse. Men need to know this, because erectile problems can lead to prolonged depression and infertility.
It is important to remember that alcohol and drugs are the main causes of sexual weakness. In this case, to restore sexual function, you will need to completely stop taking alcohol, increase physical activity and start taking drugs that have a positive effect on the male body. The most popular and available drugs that restore natural erection are PDE-5 inhibitors – Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
Viagra and alcohol
According to doctors, a man will not have any adverse effects after simultaneous intake of Viagra and alcohol. Of course, if alcohol consumed in a moderate amount. For example, a man with a weight of 80-85 kg will not experience any health problems if he drinks 100 grams of any alcohol and one pill of Viagra. From the chemical point of view, the main component of the drug – Sildenafil – does not interact with alcohol. This conclusion even has scientific evidence.
On the other hand, excessive alcohol consumption can be detrimental to erection. And in some cases, it can cause impotence.
From a medical point of view, alcohol is compatible with Viagra, but there are a number of unpleasant nuances that you should pay attention to. First, the use of alcohol increases the load on the heart. Viagra acts the same way. As a result, we get just a frenzied contraction of the heart muscles. As a consequence, a person can develop headache and increased pressure. Redness of the face also be attributed to adverse effects of simultaneous administration of Viagra and alcohol.
Like other medications, Viagra has a number of side effects, and alcohol may aggravate them. These include: dizziness, muscle pain, upset stomach, and even diarrhea. Therefore, one should think carefully before combining these two products.
Cialis and alcohol
The main goal of taking Cialis is to increase erection. As well as Viagra, the main component of the drug does not interact with alcohol. But it is scientifically proven that excessive doses of alcohol can affect the action of the medicine. Cialis is recommended to be taken immediately before intercourse. The compatible dosage of alcohol: 100 gr. of vodka or cognac, a glass of beer or 200 grams of wine or champagne.
With excessive doses of alcohol, a man can suffer from a sharp drop in blood pressure. This happens due to the expansion of blood vessels, which the combination of Cialis and alcohol provokes. Alcohol can also increase a number of side effects of the drug. The action of Cialis is lasting – about 36 hours.
If a man has problems with blood pressure, he should not take the drug.
Levitra and alcohol
The main component of Levitra is Vardenafil. The studies on the compatibility of the drug and alcohol has not revealed any danger of interaction. Levitra expands the vessels. When you add a large dose of alcohol, you may experience dizziness, tachycardia and low blood pressure.
It is safe to combine the drug with 200 g. of vodka or a glass of beer. The instruction on the drug warns about the impossibility of combining the drug and alcohol. But clinical trials confirm the opposite. A small dose of alcohol is allowed.
What to do if…
Many men are wondering what to do if they drank alcohol and planned sex? Here are some tips that really work in this situation:
If you want to have sex any way, drink a glass of water. This adjustment of the body’s water balance will increase the amount of blood flowing to the genitals;
If you took a little alcohol and already doubt your abilities, try using Cialis tablets. Cialis is better compatible with alcohol than Viagra or Levitra. But the drug is only compatible with small doses of alcohol. It is used 20-30 minutes before the planned sex. Generic Cialis also copes with this task perfectly. The main thing is that the tablets contain the active substance Tadalafil. You should start with a small dose of 5 mg.
Conclusion
Alcohol-containing drinks can inspire you for new sexual achievements, but you should use such “support” very carefully. Remember, just one extra glass can lead to the opposite effect. When you take drugs for erectile dysfunction, think carefully before taking risks with alcohol.
