Is it safe to take prescribed Viagra (not the stuff you buy off the internet) with ARVs?
Answer
Thank-you for your email.
To check for interactions I would need to know which ARVs you are taking. Please let me know, or go to HIV-Druginteractions.org to check this.
Generally it is safe to take Viagra with ARVs. Some ARVs may affect the concentration of Viagra that your body absorbs. If you are taking a combination which includes ritonavir levels of Viagra may be higher. Alternatively if you are taking efavirenz levels of Viagra may be lower than normal.
For this reason it’s important to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist to get the most accurate information according to your ARV treatment.

Hi Neko,
African viagra is a root used as herbal tonic. Please talk to your doctor if you’re taking any supplemnts like this. It’s a good idea to check this first before taking them just in case there’s an interaction with your HIV meds.
