I have diabetes and hypertension, and I am currently taking Myrtle MV 2, Teneligliptin, and LN Block. Is it safe for me to take Viagra?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
If you have diabetes and hypertension, Sildenafil may be safe for some people, but it should only be taken after medical advice because it can interact with certain heart and blood pressure medicines. LN Block may lower blood pressure, and combining it with erectile dysfunction medicines can sometimes cause dizziness or a sudden drop in blood pressure. It is especially dangerous if you take nitrate medicines for chest pain. Your diabetes medicines such as Teneligliptin are not usually a direct problem with Viagra. Please consult your physician or cardiologist before using it, especially if you have heart disease, chest pain, breathlessness, or uncontrolled blood pressure.
I want to increase my pleasure time during intimacy and delay ejaculation, and I am thinking about using Viagra or some other pill for this. Which medicine is usually used for improving timing and performance, and what should I know before taking it?
Veda Maddala

Wanting more control and longer duration during sex is quite common, but it helps to know that medicines like Viagra are mainly meant for improving erection strength, not for delaying ejaculation or increasing timing. In some cases, better erection confidence can indirectly reduce anxiety and improve control, but it is not a direct solution for early finishing. For timing-related concerns, doctors usually look at different options such as certain prescription medicines that help delay ejaculation, topical sprays or creams that reduce sensitivity, or sometimes a mix of medical and behavioural techniques, depending on the cause. It also depends on whether the issue is due to stress, sensitivity, or performance anxiety. Before trying any tablet or pill, it is better to get a proper assessment because these medicines can cause side effects like headache, dizziness, or interaction issues with other health conditions. Along with medical options, simple steps like slowing down arousal, practising pelvic exercises, improving sleep, and reducing anxiety can also help improve control over time in a natural way.
Is Viagra 50 mg Tablet beneficial for venogenic erectile dysfunction?
Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar
M Pharmacy
Viagra (sildenafil) 50 mg may have limited benefit in venogenic ED because this condition involves venous leakage and difficulty maintaining an erection. Since venogenic ED differs from other types of ED, proper evaluation by a urologist is important to confirm the cause and recommend suitable treatment, which may include lifestyle changes, other medicines, devices, or procedures. Sildenafil should only be used if prescribed by a doctor, and never through self‑medication, especially if you have heart disease or take nitrate medicines.
What are safe and effective ways to improve sexual desire (libido)?
G.santoshini Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
Low sexual desire can have many causes, such as stress, relationship issues, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, or medical conditions, so improving libido usually requires a combination of lifestyle and emotional care rather than a single medicine. Focus on regular exercise, good sleep, a balanced diet, reducing stress (through relaxation, yoga, or meditation), and open communication with your partner, as these can significantly improve desire. Avoid smoking and excess alcohol, and limit overuse of pornography if relevant. If the problem persists, it is important to check for underlying issues like Depression, thyroid problems, or low testosterone (in men), which may need medical treatment. Counselling or sex therapy can also be very helpful. Medications are used only in selected cases under a doctor's guidance, so it is best to seek proper evaluation rather than self-medicating.
How can I improve my sexual performance and stamina safely?
G.santoshini Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
Improving sexual performance and stamina safely usually comes from addressing overall health rather than relying on quick fixes; focus on regular exercise (especially cardio and pelvic floor exercises like Kegels), good sleep, a balanced diet, and reducing stress, as these directly improve energy, blood flow, and confidence. Avoid smoking, limit alcohol, and maintain a healthy weight, since these can affect erections and stamina. Open communication with your partner and reducing performance anxiety are also very important. If you have ongoing difficulty, it may be related to conditions like Erectile dysfunction, diabetes, or hormonal imbalance, so a doctor can evaluate and suggest appropriate treatment or counselling. Avoid using over-the-counter performance boosters without medical advice, as they may be unsafe or ineffective.
