Hello Doctor,

 

Can I take Sildenafil while I'm taking Varenicline for smoking cessation? Are there any risks or interactions I should be aware of?

 

Answered by Dr. Omer Altintas

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Yes, you can take Sildenafil while taking Varenicline, as there are no known direct interactions between the two. However, it is important to avoid taking antihypertension drugs, especially nitrates, while using Sildenafil, as this combination can cause a significant drop in blood pressure. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it’s safe for your specific health situation.

 

Thanks
