potency enhancers

Hello,

Is it possible to use potency drugs (VIAGRA, CIALIS, etc) while also taking ASPRIRIN CARDIO 100 for minor vascular problems (no heart or similar problems)? Does Aspirin contain nitrates?

Thank you.

Dear Inquirer,

Your question can be answered quite briefly. You can safely take the above-mentioned potency drugs together with aspirin (ASS), as there is no nitrate contained in any over-the-counter aspirin preparations. The same applies to all aspirin-containing painkillers and other pain medications. However, the combination of nitrates (e.g. ISDN, ISMN, Monolong, Pentalong, etc.) with Viagra or Cialis, or taking potency drugs with severe heart disease (especially circulation disorders in the heart muscle), is not allowed as serious side effects may occur.

Best regards,
O. Stephan.
