Posso tomar Sildenafil e Metformina juntos?

Por que isso acontece

These drugs work in different ways and are processed by different systems in the body. Metformin helps control blood sugar levels, while sildenafil works on blood vessels to help with erectile dysfunction. They do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, used, or removed from the body.

You can safely take these two medications together. However, because diabetes can affect your heart health and blood pressure, you should always ensure your doctor knows you are using sildenafil, as it can occasionally cause a slight drop in blood pressure.

Problemas graves nos rins ou no fígado

Você não deve tomar metformina se tiver insuficiência renal ou hepática grave, pois isso aumenta significativamente o risco de acidose láctica, uma acumulação rara, mas potencialmente fatal, de ácido no sangue.

Use of nitrate medicines (e.g., glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate)

Never take sildenafil if you are using nitrates for chest pain or heart problems. Combining them can cause a sudden, dangerous, and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.

Álcool

Drinking alcohol while taking metformin can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis. It can also cause your blood sugar levels to drop too low (hypoglycaemia). It is best to avoid excessive drinking and never drink on an empty stomach.

Suco de toranja

Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of sildenafil in your blood, which makes side effects like headaches, flushing, or low blood pressure more likely. It is best to avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice.

Refeições ricas em gordura

Eating a heavy or high-fat meal (like a burger and chips) at the same time as taking sildenafil can slow down how quickly the medicine works. For the fastest effect, it is better to take it on an empty stomach or with a light meal.
