Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins,

VIAGRA may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect the way VIAGRA works, causing side effects.
Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take any of the following:

medicines called nitrates
medicines called guanylate cyclase stimulators such as Adempas (riociguat)
medicines called alpha-blockers such as Hytrin (terazosin
HCl), Flomax (tamsulosin HCl), Cardura (doxazosin
mesylate), Minipress (prazosin HCl), Uroxatral (alfuzosin HCl),
Jalyn (dutasteride and tamsulosin HCl), or Rapaflo (silodosin).
Alpha-blockers are sometimes prescribed for prostate
problems or high blood pressure. In some patients, the use
of VIAGRA with alpha-blockers can lead to a drop in blood pressure or to fainting
medicines called HIV protease inhibitors, such as ritonavir (Norvir), indinavir sulfate (Crixivan), saquinavir (Fortovase or Invirase), or atazanavir sulfate (Reyataz)

ketoconazole (Nizoral) and itraconazole (Sporanox)

telithromycin (Ketek), or erythromycin
other medicines that treat high blood pressure
other medicines or treatments for ED
VIAGRA contains sildenafil, which is the same medicine found
in another drug called REVATIO. REVATIO is used to treat a
rare disease called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
VIAGRA should not be used with REVATIO or with other PAH
treatments containing sildenafil or any other PDE5 inhibitors
(such as Adcirca [tadalafil])
VIAGRA does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

The most common side effects of VIAGRA: headache; flushing; upset stomach; abnormal vision, such as changes in color vision
(such as having a blue color tinge) and blurred vision; stuffy or runny nose; back pain; muscle pain; nausea; dizziness; rash.

Question 3

why does my period come every 7 weeks or some times longer?

Accepted Answer

: Irregular bleeding at 19 is not uncommon. It is usually related to hormonal fluctuations involving puberty. If you are concerned, discuss it with your doctor when you have your annual physical. They can measure levels of hormone in your blood, and make sure your reproductive organs are normal. If you are sexually active, make sure to get tested for STD's and get a pap smear.

Question 4

what can i do to make my breath smell good for a much longer period of time?

Accepted Answer

Oral Hygiene: First, make sure you are brushing and flossing 3-4 times per day. You can do more if needed. But i would always brush after any meal. That will keep your breath smelling good for a longer period of time.

Question 5

my penis hurts if i don't ejacualate for longer period of time, what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Don't understand: I don't know if you mean your penis hurts when there's a long period of time inbetween ejaculations -- or if your penis hurts when you ejaculate quickly. Most ejacualations are relatively short time wise, so i'll assume you mean for former.  If you get sexually aroused and do not reach orgasm, there is pooling of blood in your pelvis which can be uncomfortable. It goes away in time, or with ckunax.

Question 6

does ssri's stop working after a period of time or is it true if you try 3 or more ssri's they no longer work?

Accepted Answer

Well...: It is not recommended that you take more than one SSRI at the same time.
Most require about 6 weeks to see real effectiveness.  sometmes it takes a while to find the right one.
If in the long-run they do not work, you must see a psychiatrist that is very familiar with this issue

Question 7

is secondary amenorrhea dangerous, if you have it for a longer period (f.e. 3 years) of time even though one neutralized the causes?

Accepted Answer

Reassurance: This is treatable condition.!!! Just need to know reason for this. Please,  be calm. Treatment  will help. You will be ok. Follow with your doctor.

Question 8

last month my period was 16 days late. this month it arrived on time but now on tenth day when it's never been longer than 5 days in the past.

Accepted Answer

Delayed ovulation: Most women menstruate about 14 days after ovulation.  If you ovulated late then the menstruation will be delayed also.  If you did not ovulate at all, then this may be break thru bleeding.  If the cycles continue to be be irregular or unpredictable, then you should see your local provider, it could be a sign of other problems, or lead to other problems.

Question 9

hi i'm twenty one and my period is never longer then 5 days but this time it stopped the 5th day and started back very light over the next few days th?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal shifts: This is most likely due to hormonal shifts or a stress reaction. If there is any chance of pregnancy take a pregnancy tests. If periods remain irregular over the next few months see a doctor for evaluation.

Question 10

what does it mean when my period is lasting longer than usual? it's usually 5 days but this time it's lasting over 10 days. this had never happened before.

Accepted Answer

Intermenstrual bleed: It is not uncommon for women with normal menstrual cycles to have an episode of either bleeding between cycles, missed period, heavier or longer period than normal.  These episodes are often due to sudden hormonal changes, possibly due to recent illness, stress, weight changes, certain meds, living with other menstruating women, or pregnancy. If they keep lasting longer than 8 days get evaluated.
