For transplant patients, it is always essential to consult your doctor before using any erectile dysfunction medication such as Viagra (sildenafil). These drugs can affect the cardiovascular system, which is especially important in the context of interactions with other drugs, including immunosuppressants.
Prograf (tacrolimus) can increase the concentration of Sildenafil in the blood and increase its effects. To use both medicines safely, your dose may need to be adjusted or your doctor may need to monitor you more frequently.
Tell your doctor if your health changes. If you experience nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, dizziness, fainting, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears, chest pain or tightness, irregular heartbeat and/or priapism (prolonged and painful erection not related to sexual activity), contact your doctor as these may be signs and symptoms of excessive levels of Sildenafil.
If you have any doubts, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
