When you are taking or receiving benzodiazepines it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following: Central nervous system (CNS) depressants (Viagra Long Terms that cause drowsiness)—The CNS depressant effects of either these medicines or benzodiazepines may be increased; your doctor may want to change the dose of either or both medicines Fluvoxamine (e.g., Luvox) or Itraconazole (e.g., Sporanox) or Ketoconazole (e.g., Nizoral) or Nefazodone (e.g., Serzone)—Higher blood levels of benzodiazepines may occur, increasing the chance that side effects will occur; your doctor may want to change the dose of either or both Viagra Long Terms, or give you a different Viagra Long Term

Contraindications

In deciding to use a Viagra Long Term, the risks of taking the Viagra Long Term must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For benzodiazepines, the following should be considered: Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to benzodiazepines. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes. Certain benzodiazepine products may contain lactose, parabens, or soybean oil. Pregnancy—Chlordiazepoxide and diazepam have been reported to increase the chance of birth defects when used during the first 3 months of pregnancy. Although similar problems have not been reported with the other benzodiazepines, the chance always exists since all of the benzodiazepines are related. Studies in animals have shown that clonazepam, lorazepam, and temazepam cause birth defects or other problems, including death of the animal fetus. Too much use of a benzodiazepine during pregnancy may cause the baby to become dependent on Viagra Long Term. This may lead to withdrawal side effects after birth. Also, use of benzodiazepines during pregnancy, especially during the last weeks, may cause body temperature problems, breathing problems, difficulty in feeding, drowsiness, or muscle weakness in the newborn infant. Benzodiazepines given just before or during labor may cause weakness in the newborn infant. When diazepam is given in high doses (especially by injection) within 15 hours before delivery, it may cause breathing problems, muscle weakness, difficulty in feeding, and body temperature problems in the newborn infant. Breast-feeding—Benzodiazepines may pass into the breast milk and cause drowsiness, difficulty in feeding, and weight loss in nursing babies of mothers taking these Viagra Long Terms. Children—Most of the side effects of these Viagra Long Terms are more likely to occur in children, especially the very young. These patients are usually more sensitive than adults to the effects of benzodiazepines. It is possible that using clonazepam for long periods of time may cause unwanted effects on physical and mental growth in children. If such effects do occur, they may not be noticed until many years later. Before this medicine is given to children for long periods of time, you should discuss its use with your child's doctor. Older adults—Most of the side effects of these medicines are more likely to occur in the elderly, who are usually more sensitive to the effects of benzodiazepines. Taking benzodiazepines for trouble in sleeping may cause more daytime drowsiness in elderly patients than in younger adults. In addition, falls and related injuries are more likely to occur in elderly patients taking benzodiazepines. Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of benzodiazepines. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially: Alcohol abuse (or history of) or Drug abuse or dependence (or history of)—Dependence on benzodiazepines may be more likely to develop Brain disease—CNS depression and other side effects of benzodiazepines may be more likely to occur Difficulty in swallowing (in children) or Emphysema, asthma, bronchitis, or other chronic lung disease or Glaucoma or Hyperactivity or Mental depression or Mental illness (severe) or Myasthenia gravis or Porphyria or Sleep apnea (temporary stopping of breathing during sleep)—Benzodiazepines may make these conditions worse Epilepsy or history of seizures—Although some benzodiazepines are used in treating epilepsy, starting or suddenly stopping treatment with these Viagra Long Terms may increase seizures Kidney or liver disease—Higher blood levels of benzodiazepines may result, increasing the chance that side effects will occur

Side Effects

Along with its needed effects, a Viagra Long Term may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention. Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur: Less common Anxiety; confusion (may be more common in the elderly); fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeat ; lack of memory of events taking place after benzodiazepine is taken (may be more common with triazolam); mental depression Rare Abnormal thinking, including disorientation, delusions (holding false beliefs that cannot be changed by facts), or loss of sense of reality ; agitation; behavior changes, including aggressive behavior, bizarre behavior, decreased inhibition, or outbursts of anger; convulsions (seizures); hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there); hypotension (low blood pressure); muscle weakness; skin rash or itching ; sore throat, fever, and chills; trouble in sleeping; ulcers or sores in mouth or throat (continuing); uncontrolled movements of body, including the eyes; unusual bleeding or bruising ; unusual excitement, nervousness, or irritability ; unusual tiredness or weakness (severe); yellow eyes or skin Symptoms of overdose Confusion (continuing); convulsions (seizures); drowsiness (severe) or coma; shakiness; slow heartbeat; slow reflexes; slurred speech (continuing) ; staggering; troubled breathing ; weakness (severe) For patients having chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, or lorazepam injected: Check with your doctor if there is redness, swelling, or pain at the place of injection. Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, check with your doctor if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome: More common Clumsiness or unsteadiness; dizziness or lightheadedness; drowsiness; slurred speech Less common or rare Abdominal or stomach cramps or pain; blurred vision or other changes in vision; changes in sexual desire or ability; constipation; diarrhea; dryness of mouth or increased thirst; false sense of well-being; headache; increased bronchial secretions or watering of mouth; muscle spasm; nausea or vomiting; problems with urination; trembling or shaking; unusual tiredness or weakness Not all of the side effects listed above have been reported for each of these medicines, but they have been reported for at least one of them. All of the benzodiazepines are similar, so any of the above side effects may occur with any of these medicines. After you stop using Viagra Long Term, your body may need time to adjust. During this time, check with your doctor if you notice any of the following side effects: More common Irritability; nervousness; trouble in sleeping Less common Abdominal or stomach cramps; confusion ; fast or pounding heartbeat; increased sense of hearing; increased sensitivity to touch and pain; increased sweating; loss of sense of reality; mental depression ; muscle cramps; nausea or vomiting; sensitivity of eyes to light; tingling, burning, or prickly sensations; trembling or shaking Rare Confusion as to time, place, or person; convulsions (seizures); feelings of suspicion or distrust; hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there) Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.

Precautions

If you will be taking a benzodiazepine regularly for a long time: Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine does not cause unwanted effects. If you are taking a benzodiazepine for convulsions (seizures), this is also important during the first few months of treatment. Check with your doctor at regular visits to see if you need to continue taking this medicine. If you are taking a benzodiazepine for epilepsy or another seizure disorder: Your doctor may want you to carry a medical identification card or bracelet stating that you are taking this Viagra Long Term. If you are taking a benzodiazepine for insomnia (trouble in sleeping): If you think you need this medicine for more than 7 to 10 days, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. Insomnia that lasts longer than this may be a sign of another medical problem. You may have difficulty sleeping (rebound insomnia) for the first few nights after you stop taking Viagra Long Term. Benzodiazepines may be habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence), especially when taken for a long time or in high doses. Some signs of dependence on benzodiazepines are: A strong desire or need to continue taking Viagra Long Term. A need to increase the dose to receive the effects of the medicine. Withdrawal effects (for example, irritability, nervousness, trouble in sleeping, abdominal or stomach cramps, trembling or shaking) occurring after the Viagra Long Term is stopped. If you think you may have become mentally or physically dependent on Viagra Long Term, check with your doctor. Do not stop taking it suddenly. If you have been taking Viagra Long Term in large doses or for a long time, do not stop taking it without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to reduce gradually the amount you are taking before stopping completely. Stopping this Viagra Long Term suddenly may cause withdrawal side effects, including seizures. Stopping this Viagra Long Term suddenly is most likely to cause seizures if you have been taking it for epilepsy or another seizure disorder. Viagra Long Term will add to the effects of alcohol and other central nervous system (CNS) depressants (Viagra Long Terms that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or Viagra Long Term for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping Viagra Long Term; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; Viagra Long Term for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. This effect may last for a few days after you stop taking this Viagra Long Term. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are taking this medicine. If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose of Viagra Long Term, get emergency help at once. Taking an overdose of a benzodiazepine or taking alcohol or other CNS depressants with the benzodiazepine may lead to unconsciousness and possibly death. Some signs of an overdose are continuing slurred speech or confusion, severe drowsiness, severe weakness, and staggering. Before you have any medical tests, tell the medical doctor in charge that you are taking this Viagra Long Term. The results of the metyrapone test may be affected by chlordiazepoxide. If you develop any unusual and strange thoughts or behavior while you are taking this Viagra Long Term, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. Some changes that have occurred in people taking this medicine are like those seen in people who drink alcohol and then act in a manner that is not normal. Other changes may be more unusual and extreme, such as confusion, agitation, and hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there). Viagra Long Term may cause some people, especially older persons, to become drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, clumsy or unsteady, or less alert than they are normally. Even if taken at bedtime, it may cause some people to feel drowsy or less alert on arising. Make sure you know how you react to this Viagra Long Term before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert.

Benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZ-e-peens) belong to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants (Viagra Long Terms that slow down the nervous system).

In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking androgens, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following: Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) (with long-term, high-dose use) or Amiodarone (e.g., Cordarone) or Anabolic steroids (nandrolone [e.g., Anabolin], oxandrolone [e.g., Anavar], oxymetholone [e.g., Anadrol], stanozolol [e.g., Winstrol]) or Anti-infectives by mouth or by injection (medicines for infection) or Antithyroid agents (medicines for overactive thyroid) or Carbamazepine (e.g., Tegretol) or Carmustine (e.g., BiCNU) or Chloroquine (e.g., Aralen) or Dantrolene (e.g., Dantrium) or Daunorubicin (e.g., Cerubidine) or Disulfiram (e.g., Antabuse) or Divalproex (e.g., Depakote) or Estrogens (female hormones) or Etretinate (e.g., Tegison) or Gold salts (Viagra Long Terms for arthritis) or Hydroxychloroquine (e.g., Plaquenil) or Mercaptopurine (e.g., Purinethol) or Methotrexate (e.g., Mexate) or Methyldopa (e.g., Aldomet) or Naltrexone (e.g., Trexan) (with long-term, high-dose use) or Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) containing estrogen or Phenothiazines (acetophenazine [e.g., Tindal], chlorpromazine [e.g., Thorazine], fluphenazine [e.g., Prolixin], mesoridazine [e.g., Serentil], perphenazine [e.g., Trilafon], prochlorperazine [e.g., Compazine], promazine [e.g., Sparine], promethazine [e.g., Phenergan], thioridazine [e.g., Mellaril], trifluoperazine [e.g., Stelazine], triflupromazine [e.g., Vesprin], trimeprazine [e.g., Temaril]) or Phenytoin (e.g., Dilantin) or Plicamycin (e.g., Mithracin) or Valproic acid (e.g., Depakene)—Use of these Viagra Long Terms with androgens may increase the chance of liver problems.

Contraindications

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking Viagra Long Term must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For androgens, the following should be considered: Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to androgens. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes. Pregnancy—Androgens are not recommended during pregnancy. When given to pregnant women, the Viagra Long Term has caused male features to develop in female babies. Breast-feeding—Use is not recommended in nursing mothers, since androgens may pass into the breast milk and may cause unwanted effects in the nursing baby, such as premature (too early) sexual development in males and development of male features in female babies. Children—Androgens may cause children to stop growing. In addition, androgens may make male children develop too fast sexually and may cause male-like changes in female children. Older adults—When older male patients are treated with androgens, they may have an increased risk of enlarged prostate (a male gland) or their existing prostate cancer may get worse. For these reasons, a prostate examination and a blood test to check for prostate cancer is often done before androgens are prescribed for men over 50 years of age. These examinations may be repeated during treatment. Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of androgens. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially: Breast cancer (in males) or Prostate cancer—Androgens can cause growth of these tumors Breast cancer (in females)—Androgens may cause high calcium levels in the blood to become worse Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)—Androgens can increase or decrease blood sugar levels. Careful monitoring of blood glucose should be done Edema (swelling of face, hands, feet, or lower legs) or Kidney disease or Liver disease—These conditions can be worsened by the fluid retention (keeping too much water in the body) that can be caused by androgens. Also, liver disease can prevent the body from removing Viagra Long Term from the bloodstream as fast as it normally would. This could increase the chance of side effects occurring Enlarged prostate—Androgens can cause further enlargement of the prostate Heart or blood vessel disease—Androgens can make these conditions worse because androgens may increase blood cholesterol levels. Also, androgens can cause fluid retention (keeping too much water in the body), which also can worsen heart or blood vessel disease

Side Effects

Discuss these possible effects with your doctor: Tumors of the liver, liver cancer, or peliosis hepatis (a form of liver disease) have occurred during long-term, high-dose therapy with androgens. Although these effects are rare, they can be very serious and may cause death. Androgens can stimulate existing prostate cancer in men who already have it but have not yet been diagnosed. Also, the prostate (a male gland) may become enlarged. Enlargement of the prostate does not mean that cancer will develop. If enlargement occurs and you have difficulty in urinating, it is a good idea to be checked by your doctor. When androgens are used in women, especially in high doses, male-like changes may occur, such as hoarseness or deepening of the voice, unnatural hair growth, or unusual hair loss. Most of these changes will go away if the Viagra Long Term is stopped as soon as the changes are noticed. However, some changes, such as voice changes or enlarged clitoris, may not go away. When androgens are used in high doses in males, they interfere with the production of sperm. This effect is usually temporary and only happens during the time you are taking Viagra Long Term. However, discuss this possible effect with your doctor if you are planning on having children. Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects appear very often, when they do occur they may require medical attention. Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur: More common For females only Acne or oily skin; decreased breast size; irregular menstrual cycles; hoarseness or deepening of voice; increase in size of female genitals; increase in unnatural hair growth or male pattern baldness These symptoms may occur in females whose male sexual partner uses a scrotal patch.

These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to Viagra Long Term. However, check with your doctor if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome: Less common For males and females Acne, mild; diarrhea; hair loss or thinning of hair; increase in pubic hair growth; infection, pain, redness, or other irritation at site of injection; decrease or increase in sexual desire or drive; nervousness; stomach pain; trouble in sleeping For males only Decrease in testicle size; infection, pain, redness, swelling, sores, or other skin irritation underneath patch Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.

Precautions

Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits to make sure this Viagra Long Term does not cause unwanted effects. For patients with diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) : Viagra Long Term may affect blood sugar levels. If you notice a change in the results of your blood or urine sugar tests or if you have any questions, check with your doctor. For patients using the brand name Testoderm patches (matrix-type): In some cases, this medicine can pass from you to your sexual partner. Tell your doctor if your female sex partner has a great increase in acne. Also, tell your doctor if her hair begins to grow in odd places like her upper lip, chest, or back. This will not occur if you are using the reservoir-type skin patch because it is not applied to the scrotum and because it has a protective liner.

How To Use

Take Viagra Long Term only as directed. Do not take more of it and do not take it more often than your doctor ordered . Doing so may increase the chance of side effects. There are two types of testosterone skin patches. The matrix-type is applied to skin of the scrotum. The reservoir-type is never applied to the skin of the scrotum. It is applied to other parts of the body. Be sure you know which type you are using so that you will apply it properly. These skin patches come with patient directions. Read them carefully before using the patch. For patients taking fluoxymesterone or methyltestosterone: Take this Viagra Long Term with food to lessen possible stomach upset, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. For patients using the matrix-type skin patch of testosterone (Testoderm or Testoderm with Adhesives): You must apply the patch to the scrotum because

Viagra Long Term

easily passes into your body at this area. Other areas of your skin are too thick for Viagra Long Term to work properly. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before and after handling the patch. Before applying the patch: Clean and dry your scrotum. You should also dry-shave this area once a week by using a shaver only (no soap or water). To dry-shave, stretch the skin of your scrotum with your fingers. Use short gentle strokes with no pressure on the razor to remove the hair. Do not use shaving cream or hair-removing creams (e.g., Nair). You may sit with your legs apart or stand while applying the patch. To apply the patch: Open the wrapper containing the patch at the point shown on the package. Carefully remove the patch from its protective plastic liner by peeling the patch from the liner starting at the corner. Warm your scrotum for a few seconds before applying the patch to achieve the best results. Stretch the skin of your scrotum gently to remove the folds by pulling the penis up and to the side. Another way is to pull your scrotum down. Use your first and middle fingers to stretch the skin of your scrotum. Place the shiny side of the patch onto the warm stretched skin of your scrotum. Press the shiny side of the patch firmly in place with the palm of your hand for about 10 seconds. Make sure there is good contact, especially around the edges. The patch should stick to your scrotum and show the natural wrinkles of your scrotum. Put on comfortable, close-fitting briefs (underwear) after applying the patch. If a patch becomes loose or falls off, you may reapply it or discard it and apply a new patch. To remove the skin patch: Gently peel the patch from the skin. You may reuse the patch after removing it for swimming, bathing, showering, or sexual activity. First, remove the patch and place the shiny (sticky) side up on a counter. Before you reapply the patch, be sure the skin on your scrotum is dry. Then, follow the directions to reapply the patch. When the wearing period is over, fold the patch in half with the sticky sides together. Place the folded, used patch in its protective pouch or in aluminum foil. Be sure to throw it away out of the reach of children and pets. For patients using the reservoir-type skin patch of testosterone (Androderm or Testoderm TTS): Apply the patch called Androderm to the abdomen, back, thighs, or arms. Apply the patch called Testoderm TTS to the back, arms, or upper buttocks. Do not apply these patches to the scrotum. Do not apply the patch to areas of the body that seem bony, such as the top of the shoulders or near the elbows, or to areas that may have to support your body while sleeping or sitting, such as the hips or shoulder blades. Apply each new patch to a different place. Do not reapply a patch to the same area of skin for 7 days. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before and after handling the patch. Before applying the patch, clean and dry the application site. To apply the patch: Open the wrapper containing the patch at the point shown on the package. Carefully remove the patch from its protective plastic liner by peeling the patch from the liner, starting at the corner. Place the shiny side of the patch onto the skin. Press the shiny side of the patch firmly in place with the palm of your hand for about 10 seconds. Be sure there is good contact, especially around the edges. If a patch becomes loose or falls off, you may reapply it or discard it and apply a new patch. To remove the skin patch: Gently peel the patch from the skin. You do not need to remove this patch for swimming, bathing, showering, or sexual activity. When the wearing period is over, fold the patch in half with the sticky sides together.
