Viagra (sildenafil) was initially developed as a new antihypertensive drug. It has to ability to cause a significant drop in blood pressure. As such, if your hypertension is not well-controlled, avoid taking Viagra as it may precipitate severe hypotension which can be dangerous. Also, if your are already on an antihypertensive regime which is fairly complicated (e.g. numerous types of drugs), do discuss the matter before starting Viagra to avoid possible drug interactions that may affect the efficiay of your antihypertensive drugs.

It is a very bad idea for a man with heart problems to take Viagra. Actually, he shouldn't take any kind of erectile dysfunction medication. The medication basically increases blood flow, helping the penis stay erect. If a man has high blood pressure, Viagra would only exacerbate the problem.
Viagra comes in 25 milligrams, and 50 mg and 100mg.
