Hey maybe I should get a prescription for me, you suppose they would give me 30 pills for a month. I can only get 6 a month for my husband, after his prostate cancer surgery! LOL

Hey It might Sal.
Actually my sister-in-law, which is on Mayo Clinics, heart and lung transplant waiting list, had it was prescribed to her for dialating the capillaries in her lungs, don't think she took it very long though.
Thought about asking her if I could buy it off of her! hehe
(for hubby)

Seems like I read somewhere that the side effects from Viagra - besides the obvious - was hearing and vision problems. And people with heart conditions or on nitrates were not supposed to take it. I hope people who have a spouse taking it or have access to it don't decide to give it a try on their own. It could really interact with other meds.

Don't worry Kitty, I'm not wasting it on me, I saving it for my hubby, since insurance will only allow him six pills a month
We did ask about the side effects, about eyesight and hearing and heart, but at 47, he was in great health otherwise. The eyesight and hearing are very rare!

I'll probably be made to feel less criminal and high-interest with my local pharmacy filling my own prescription for viagra, than those of Clonazepam (Klonopin) and Cesamet (Nabilone).
