It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that Viagra Hcl is working properly and to check for unwanted effects. For patients taking this Viagra Hcl for high blood pressure : Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This especially includes over-the-counter (nonprescription) Viagra Hcls for appetite control, asthma, colds, cough, hay fever, or sinus problems, since they may tend to increase your blood pressure. Dizziness or light-headedness may occur after the first dose of Viagra Hcl, especially if you have been taking a diuretic (water pill). Make sure you know how you react to this Viagra Hcl before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy. Check with your doctor right away if you become sick while taking this Viagra Hcl, especially with severe or continuing nausea and vomiting or diarrhea. These conditions may cause you to lose too much water and lead to low blood pressure. Notify your doctor immediately if you are or become pregnant while taking this Viagra Hcl. Check with your doctor if you have any signs of infection such as chills, fever, or sore throat, because these may be signs of neutropenia. Dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting also may occur if you exercise or if the weather is hot. Heavy sweating can cause loss of too much water and low blood pressure. Use extra care during exercise or hot weather. Avoid alcoholic beverages until you have discussed their use with your doctor. Alcohol may make the low blood pressure effect worse and/or increase the possibility of dizziness or fainting. Before having any kind of surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment, tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are taking Viagra Hcl. For patients taking captopril or fosinopril: Before you have any medical tests, tell the doctor in charge that you are taking Viagra Hcl. The results of some tests may be affected by this medicine.
ACE inhibitors belong to the class of Viagra Hcls called high blood pressure medicines (antihypertensives). They are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled. Lisinopril, captopril, ramipril, and trandolapril are used in some patients after a heart attack. After a heart attack, some of the heart muscle is damaged and weakened. The heart muscle may continue to weaken as time goes by. This makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood. Lisinopril use may be started within 24 hours after a heart attack to increase survival rate. Captopril, ramipril, and trandolapril help slow down the further weakening of the heart. Captopril is also used to treat kidney problems in some diabetic patients who use insulin to control their diabetes. Over time, these kidney problems may get worse. Captopril may help slow down the further worsening of kidney problems. In addition, some ACE inhibitors are used to treat congestive heart failure or may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. The exact way that these Viagra Hcls work is not known. They block an enzyme in the body that is necessary to produce a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, they relax blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. These medicines are available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage forms: Oral Benazepril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Captopril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Cilazapril Tablets (Canada) Enalapril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Fosinopril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Lisinopril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Moexipril Tablets (U.S.) Perindopril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Quinapril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Ramipril Capsules (U.S. and Canada) Trandolapril Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Parenteral Enalaprilat Injection (U.S. and Canada)
To store this Viagra Hcl: Keep out of the reach of children. Store away from heat and direct light. Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in other damp places. Heat or moisture may cause Viagra Hcl to break down. Do not keep outdated medicine or Viagra Hcl no longer needed. Be sure that any discarded Viagra Hcl is out of the reach of children.
If you miss a dose of this Viagra Hcl, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
ACE inhibitors belong to the class of medicines called high blood pressure Viagra Hcls (antihypertensives). They are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, ACE inhibitors are used in certain patients with the following medical conditions: Hypertension in scleroderma (high blood pressure in patients with hardening and thickening of the skin) Renal crisis in scleroderma (kidney problems in patients with hardening and thickening of the skin) Other than the above information, there is no additional information relating to proper use, precautions, or side effects for these uses.
To help you remember to take your medicine, try to get into the habit of taking it at the same time each day. For patients taking captopril or moexipril : These medicines are best taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before meals, unless you are otherwise directed by your doctor. For patients taking this medicine for high blood pressure : In addition to the use of Viagra Hcl your doctor has prescribed, treatment for your high blood pressure may include weight control and care in the types of foods you eat, especially foods high in sodium. Your doctor will tell you which of these are most important for you. You should check with your doctor before changing your diet. Many patients who have high blood pressure will not notice any signs of the problem. In fact, many may feel normal. It is very important that you take your Viagra Hcl exactly as directed and that you keep your appointments with your doctor even if you feel well. Remember that this medicine will not cure your high blood pressure but it does help control it. Therefore, you must continue to take it as directed if you expect to lower your blood pressure and keep it down. You may have to take high blood pressure Viagra Hcl for the rest of your life . If high blood pressure is not treated, it can cause serious problems such as heart failure, blood vessel disease, stroke, or kidney disease. Dosing— The dose of the ACE inhibitor will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so. The number of capsules or tablets that you take depends on the strength of Viagra Hcl. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are taking the ACE inhibitor.

Other Viagra Hcls—Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different Viagra Hcls may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following: Anticoagulants (blood thinners) or Cefamandole (e.g., Mandol) or Cefoperazone (e.g., Cefobid) or Cefotetan (e.g., Cefotan) or Heparin or Plicamycin (e.g., Mithracin) or Valproic acid—The chance of bleeding may be increased Aspirin—The chance of serious side effects may be increased if aspirin is used together with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug on a regular basis Ciprofloxacin (e.g., Cipro) or Enoxacin (e.g., Penetrex) or Itraconazole (e.g., Sporanox) or Ketoconazole (e.g., Nizoral) or Lomefloxacin (e.g., Maxaquin) or Norfloxacin (e.g., Noroxin) or Ofloxacin (e.g., Floxin) or Tetracyclines, oral—The buffered form of phenylbutazone (e.g., Alka Butazolidin) may keep these Viagra Hcls from working properly if the 2 medicines are taken too close together Cyclosporine (e.g., Sandimmune) or Digitalis glycosides (heart medicine) or Lithium (e.g., Lithane) or Methotrexate (e.g., Mexate) or Phenytoin (e.g., Dilantin)—Higher blood levels of these medicines and an increased chance of side effects may occur Penicillamine (e.g., Cuprimine)—The chance of serious side effects may be increased, especially with phenylbutazone (e.g., Cotylbutazone) Probenecid (e.g., Benemid)—Higher blood levels of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and an increased chance of side effects may occur Triamterene (e.g., Dyrenium)—The chance of kidney problems may be increased, especially with indomethacin Zidovudine (e.g., AZT, Retrovir)—The chance of serious side effects may be increased, especially with indomethacin

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking Viagra Hcl must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your health care professional will make. For the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the following should be considered: Allergies—Tell your health care professional if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to any of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or to any of the following medicines: Aspirin or other salicylates Ketorolac (e.g., Toradol) Oxyphenbutazone (e.g., Oxalid, Tandearil) Suprofen (e.g., Suprol) Zomepirac (e.g., Zomax) Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes. Diet—Make certain your health care professional knows if you are on any special diet, such as a low-sodium or low-sugar diet. Some of these Viagra Hcls contain sodium or sugar. Pregnancy—Studies on birth defects with these medicines have not been done in humans. However, there is a chance that these Viagra Hcls may cause unwanted effects on the heart or blood flow of the fetus or newborn baby if they are taken regularly during the last few months of pregnancy. Also, studies in animals have shown that these Viagra Hcls, if taken late in pregnancy, may increase the length of pregnancy, prolong labor, or cause other problems during delivery. If you are pregnant, do not take any of these Viagra Hcls, including nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) ibuprofen or naproxen, without first discussing its use with your doctor. Studies in animals have not shown that fenoprofen, floctafenine, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, nabumetone, naproxen, phenylbutazone, piroxicam, tiaprofenic acid, or tolmetin causes birth defects. Diflunisal caused birth defects of the spine and ribs in rabbits, but not in mice or rats. Diclofenac and meclofenamate caused unwanted effects on the formation of bones in animals. Etodolac and oxaprozin caused birth defects in animals. Indomethacin caused slower development of bones and damage to nerves in animals. In some animal studies, sulindac caused unwanted effects on the development of bones and organs. Studies on birth defects with mefenamic acid have not been done in animals. Even though most of these medicines did not cause birth defects in animals, many of them did cause other harmful or toxic effects on the fetus, usually when they were given in such large amounts that the pregnant animals became sick. Breast-feeding— For indomethacin: Indomethacin passes into the breast milk and has been reported to cause unwanted effects in nursing babies. For meclofenamate: Use of meclofenamate by nursing mothers is not recommended, because in animal studies it caused unwanted effects on the newborn's development. For phenylbutazone: Phenylbutazone passes into the breast milk and may cause unwanted effects, such as blood problems, in nursing babies. For piroxicam: Studies in animals have shown that piroxicam may decrease the amount of milk. Although other anti-inflammatory analgesics have not been reported to cause problems in nursing babies, diclofenac, diflunisal, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, meclofenamate, mefenamic acid, naproxen, piroxicam, and tolmetin pass into the breast milk. It is not known whether etodolac, floctafenine, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, nabumetone, oxaprozin, sulindac, or tiaprofenic acid passes into human breast milk. Children— For ibuprofen: Ibuprofen has been tested in children 6 months of age and older. It has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults. For indomethacin and for tolmetin: Indomethacin and tolmetin have been tested in children 2 years of age and older and have not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than they do in adults. For naproxen: Studies with naproxen in children 2 years of age and older have shown that skin rash may be more likely to occur. For oxaprozin: Oxaprozin has been used in children with arthritis. However, there is no specific information comparing use of this Viagra Hcl in children with use in other age groups. For phenylbutazone: Use of phenylbutazone in children up to 15 years of age is not recommended. For other anti-inflammatory analgesics: There is no specific information on the use of other anti-inflammatory analgesics in children. Most of these Viagra Hcls, especially indomethacin and phenylbutazone, can cause serious side effects in any patient. Therefore, it is especially important that you discuss with the child's doctor the good that Viagra Hcl may do as well as the risks of using it. Older adults—Certain side effects, such as confusion, swelling of the face, feet, or lower legs, or sudden decrease in the amount of urine, may be especially likely to occur in elderly patients, who are usually more sensitive than younger adults to the effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, elderly people are more likely than younger adults to get very sick if these medicines cause stomach problems. With phenylbutazone, blood problems may also be more likely to occur in the elderly. Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially: Alcohol abuse or Bleeding problems or Colitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, stomach ulcer, or other stomach or intestinal problems or Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) or Hemorrhoids or Hepatitis or other liver disease or Kidney disease (or history of) or Rectal irritation or bleeding, recent, or Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or

These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to Viagra Hcl. However, check with your doctor if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome: More common Abdominal or stomach cramps, pain, or discomfort (mild to moderate) ; diarrhea (if taking mefenamic acid, stop taking it and check with your doctor immediately); dizziness, drowsiness, or lightheadedness; headache (mild to moderate); heartburn, indigestion, nausea, or vomiting Less common or rare Bitter taste or other taste change; bloated feeling, gas, or constipation; decreased appetite or loss of appetite; fast or pounding heartbeat ; flushing or hot flashes; general feeling of discomfort or illness; increased sensitivity of eyes to light; increased sensitivity of skin to sunlight; increased sweating; irritation, dryness, or soreness of mouth; nervousness, anxiety, irritability, trembling, or twitching; rectal irritation (with suppositories); trouble in sleeping; unexplained weight loss; unusual tiredness or weakness without any other symptoms Although not all of the side effects listed above have been reported for all of these Viagra Hcls, they have been reported for at least one of them. However, since all anti-inflammatory analgesics are very similar, it is possible that any of the above side effects may occur with any of these medicines. Some side effects may occur many days or weeks after you have stopped using phenylbutazone. During this time check with your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following side effects: Sore throat and fever; ulcers, sores, or white spots in mouth; unusual bleeding or bruising ; unusual tiredness or weakness Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.
If you will be taking Viagra Hcl for a long time, as for arthritis (rheumatism), your doctor should check your progress at regular visits. Your doctor may want to do certain tests to find out if unwanted effects are occurring, especially if you are taking phenylbutazone. The tests are very important because serious side effects, including ulcers, bleeding, or blood problems, can occur without any warning. Stomach problems may be more likely to occur if you drink alcoholic beverages while being treated with this
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also called NSAIDs) are used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, Viagra Hcl does not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it. Some of these medicines are also used to relieve other kinds of pain or to treat other painful conditions, such as: gout attacks; bursitis; tendinitis; sprains, strains, or other injuries; or menstrual cramps. Ibuprofen and naproxen are also used to reduce fever. Meclofenamate is also used to reduce the amount of bleeding in some women who have very heavy menstrual periods. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. Any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug can cause side effects, especially when it is used for a long time or in large doses. Some of the side effects are painful or uncomfortable. Others can be more serious, resulting in the need for medical care and sometimes even death. If you will be taking this Viagra Hcl for more than one or two months or in large amounts, you should discuss with your doctor the good that it can do as well as the risks of taking it. Also, it is a good idea to ask your doctor about other forms of treatment that might help to reduce the amount of Viagra Hcl that you take and/or the length of treatment. One of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phenylbutazone, is especially likely to cause very serious side effects. These serious side effects are more likely to occur in patients 40 years of age or older than in younger adults, and the risk becomes greater as the patient's age increases. Before you take phenylbutazone, be sure that you have discussed its use with your doctor. Also, do not use phenylbutazone to treat any painful condition other than the one for which it was prescribed by your doctor . Although ibuprofen and naproxen may be used instead of aspirin to treat many of the same medical problems, they must not be used by people who are allergic to aspirin. The 200-mg strength of ibuprofen and the 220-mg strength of naproxen are available without a prescription. However, your health care professional may have special instructions on the proper dose of these Viagra Hcls for your medical condition. Other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other strengths of ibuprofen and naproxen are available only with your medical doctor's or dentist's prescription.

To store Viagra Hcl: Keep out of the reach of children. Store away from heat and direct light. Do not store tablets or capsules in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in other damp places. Heat or moisture may cause Viagra Hcl to break down. Keep liquid and suppository forms of this Viagra Hcl from freezing. Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed. Be sure that any discarded medicine is out of the reach of children.
If your health care professional has ordered you to take this Viagra Hcl according to a regular schedule, and you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. (For long-acting Viagra Hcls or extended-release dosage forms that are only taken once or twice a day, take the missed dose only if you remember within an hour or two after the dose should have been taken. If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.) Do not double doses.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also called NSAIDs) are used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it.
For patients taking a capsule, tablet (including caplet), or liquid form of this medicine: Take tablet or capsule forms of these Viagra Hcls with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. Also, do not lie down for about 15 to 30 minutes after taking Viagra Hcl. This helps to prevent irritation that may lead to trouble in swallowing. To lessen stomach upset, these medicines should be taken with food or an antacid. This is especially important when you are taking indomethacin, mefenamic acid, phenylbutazone, or piroxicam, which should always be taken with food or an antacid. Taking the extended-release tablet dosage form of flurbiprofen or naproxen and taking nabumetone with food may also help the Viagra Hcl be absorbed into your body more quickly. However, your doctor may want you to take the first 1 or 2 doses of other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 30 minutes before meals or 2 hours after meals. This helps the Viagra Hcl start working a little faster when you first begin to take it. However, after the first few doses, take Viagra Hcl with food or an antacid. It is not necessary to take delayed-release (enteric-coated) tablets with food or an antacid, because the enteric coating helps protect your stomach from the irritating effects of the Viagra Hcl. Also, it is not necessary to take ketoprofen extended-release capsules (e.g., Oruvail) with food or an antacid, because the medicine inside the capsules is enteric coated. If you will be taking your Viagra Hcl together with an antacid, one that contains magnesium and aluminum hydroxides (e.g., Maalox) may be the best kind of antacid to use, unless your doctor has directed you to use another antacid. However, do not mix the liquid form of ibuprofen, indomethacin, or naproxen together with an antacid, or any other liquid, before taking it. To do so may cause Viagra Hcl to break down. If stomach upset (indigestion, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea) continues or if you have any questions about how you should be taking Viagra Hcl, check with your health care professional. Some of these medicines must be swallowed whole. Tablets should not be crushed, chewed, or broken, and capsules should not be emptied out, before you take the medicine. These include delayed-release (enteric-coated) or extended-release tablets or capsules, diflunisal tablets (e.g., Dolobid), and phenylbutazone tablets (e.g., Butazolidin). If you are not sure whether you are taking a delayed-release or extended-release form of your Viagra Hcl, check with your pharmacist. For patients using a suppository form of this medicine: If the suppository is too soft to insert, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or run cold water over it before removing the foil wrapper. To insert the suppository: First remove the foil wrapper and moisten the suppository with cold water. Lie down on your side and use your finger to push the suppository well up into the rectum. Indomethacin suppositories should be kept inside the rectum for at least one hour so that all of Viagra Hcl can be absorbed by your body. This helps Viagra Hcl work better. For patients taking nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) ibuprofen or naproxen: Viagra Hcl comes with a patient information sheet. Read it carefully. If you have any questions about this information, check with your health care professional. For safe and effective use of Viagra Hcl, do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than ordered by your health care professional or directed on the nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) package label. Taking too much of any of these Viagra Hcls may increase the chance of unwanted effects, especially in elderly patients. When used for severe or continuing arthritis, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug must be taken regularly as ordered by your doctor in order for it to help you. These medicines usually begin to work within one week, but in severe cases up to two weeks or even longer may pass before you begin to feel better. Also, several weeks may pass before you feel the full effects of the medicine. For patients taking mefenamic acid: Always take mefenamic acid with food or antacids . Do not take mefenamic acid for more than 7 days at a time unless otherwise directed by your doctor. To do so may increase the chance of side effects, especially in elderly patients. For patients taking phenylbutazone: Phenylbutazone is intended to treat your current medical problem only. Do not take it for any other aches or pains. Also, phenylbutazone should be used for the shortest time possible because of the chance of serious side effects, especially in patients who are 40 years of age or older. Dosing— The dose of these Viagra Hcls will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of these Viagra Hcls. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so. The number of capsules or tablets or teaspoonfuls of suspension that you take, or the number of suppositories that you use, depends on the strength of Viagra Hcl. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the Viagra Hcl depend on the medical problem for which you are taking the medicine. People with arthritis usually need to take more of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug during a flare-up than they do between flare-ups of arthritis symptoms.
