Good news for all the guys out there who take prescription drugs to <\/span>treat erectile dysfunction (ED)<\/span><\/a>. You don\u2019t have to choose between \u201cthe little blue pill\u201d and sharing a bottle of wine with your Valentine\u2019s Day date. As long as your alcohol consumption isn\u2019t excessive, it is generally considered safe to have a drink when you are under the influence of Viagra and medications like it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a Viagra and alcohol interaction?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cThere does not seem to be a major drug interaction between alcohol and any of the drugs that are used for erectile dysfunction,\u201d says <\/span>Sharzad Green, Pharm.D.<\/span><\/a>, a pharmacy coach and trainer with Advanced Pharmacy Consulting in Tempe, Arizona. <\/span>Popular ED drugs<\/span><\/a> include <\/span>Viagra<\/span><\/a> (sildenafil citrate), <\/span>Cialis<\/span><\/a> (tadalafil), and <\/span>Levitra<\/span><\/a> (vardenafil). <\/span>Revatio<\/span><\/a> also contains sildenafil and is prescribed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but is sometimes prescribed off-label for ED as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, having a drink or two might even work in your favor: A <\/span>2018 meta-analysis (an analysis of many studies)<\/span><\/a> conducted by the Department of Urology at the West China School of Medicine in Chengdu, China, found that light to moderate alcohol use was actually associated with a decreased risk of erectile dysfunction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes, a little alcohol helps with sexual response because it can decrease inhibitions, anxiety, and stress,\u201d says <\/span>Stanley Myers, MD<\/span><\/a>, a urologist and sexual medicine specialist in Portland, Oregon. <\/span>Although Viagra works within 30 to 60 minutes<\/span><\/a>, sexual desire and stimulation are still needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mixup<\/p>\n

Can alcohol affect erectile dysfunction?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The key phrase here is \u201ca little.\u201d The amount of alcohol matters. The story changes when it comes to men who drink heavily and\/or engage in binge drinking (as indicated by the study, and just basic medical advice). Men should not consume more than two alcoholic drinks per day, regardless of whether they take medication (<\/span>any<\/span><\/i> medication) or intend to engage in sexual activity, according to the <\/span>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/span><\/a> (CDC).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the threshold for binge drinking? The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines it as <\/span>consuming five or more drinks on any one occasion<\/span><\/a>. And while that doesn\u2019t change the fact that there aren\u2019t any official drug-drug interactions between alcohol and ED drugs, drinking alcohol excessively can dull sexual response. In other words, it makes the use of Viagra and its counterparts somewhat futile. People who misuse alcohol, specifically, fare very poorly. According to <\/span>research published in 2007<\/span><\/a>, 72% of male alcoholics experience some type of sexual dysfunction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Heavy drinking] will definitely cause a negative impact on a man\u2019s ability to achieve and maintain an erection,\u201d says <\/span>Nefertiti Childrey, DO<\/span><\/a>, a urologist based in New York. Excessive alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence can contribute to a number of other medical issues, like metabolic syndrome and liver disease, Dr. Childrey adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Does it matter what beverage you choose?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Along with the very practical advice to avoid excessive drinking, it is also important to choose the <\/span>right<\/span><\/i> cocktail when mixing Viagra and alcohol. Some are safer than others.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you prefer red wine, you are in luck! Data shows there\u2019s no <\/span>clinically significant reaction<\/span><\/a> between the two. It was studied specifically in relation to Viagra and hypotension (presumably because of worries that the combination could trigger dangerously low blood pressure levels, a speculation Dr. Myers says is likely overstated). Not only that, another <\/span>Harvard study<\/span><\/a> found that flavonoid-rich consumables, including red wine, have the potential to reduce the incidence of ED.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Greyhound (vodka + grapefruit juice) is your drink of choice, that mixer might interfere with your Viagra (<\/span>as grapefruit juice does with many medications<\/span><\/a>, according to the FDA). Harvard University reports that while clinical trials and information are incomplete, the Viagra\/grapefruit juice combo could trigger side effects such as headaches, flushing, or low blood pressure. If your beverage is citrus-juice free, you\u2019re probably in the clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s often recommended to take Viagra on an empty stomach, which could be problematic if you\u2019re drinking alcohol. Ask your doctor if you can take your dose after eating. <\/span>One study<\/span><\/a> found that there was no significant difference when Viagra was taken before a meal or with food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Side effects of Viagra<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re mixing Viagra with alcohol or not, it\u2019s important to know which <\/span>side effects of Viagra<\/span><\/a> you can expect and those that require medical attention. The most common side effects of ED medication are lightheadedness or headache, stomach upset or indigestion, and back or muscle pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seek medical attention if you experience an erection that lasts longer than four hours. Abnormal vision and hearing loss are also serious side effects that require urgent medical help. Although rare, Viagra can cause a heart attack or stroke in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease. Go to the emergency room if you experience symptoms like chest pain or irregular heart rate. A popular chest pain treatment is nitroglycerin (a nitrate); however, the combination of Viagra (or any ED medication described above) and nitroglycerin is very dangerous, increasing the risk of dangerously low blood pressure, fainting, or heart attack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, despite these promising facts, be sure to speak with your own doctor or pharmacist about whether it is safe for <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> to drink alcohol with your ED meds. If you don\u2019t have any other contraindications, you\u2019ll likely get the green light to enjoy a few drinks in moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think if there were an absolute contraindication for a man to have alcohol with these medications, [the medications] probably wouldn\u2019t be as successful as they are,\u201d says Dr. Childrey. \u201cSo because of that, I don\u2019t advise patients not to drink. But I do review the general risks associated with medication and alcohol intake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
