Always check with your doctor or pharmacist with medication interaction questions.
Interactions between your selected drugs
sotalol ↔ sildenafil
Applies to: sotalol, Viagra (sildenafil)
Sildenafil can add to the blood pressure-lowering effect of sotalol. Contact your doctor if you experience signs and symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, flushing, headache, or a rapid pulse or heart rate. You may be more likely to experience these problems at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Other drugs that your selected drugs interact with
sotalol interacts with more than 400 other drugs.
Viagra (sildenafil) interacts with more than 200 other drugs.
Interactions between your selected drugs and food
sildenafil ↔ food
Applies to: Viagra (sildenafil)
If you are receiving therapy with sildenafil you should avoid the regular consumption of large amounts of grapefruits and grapefruit juice. Grapefruit can raise the levels of sildenafil in your body and delay the time it takes for the medication to work. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.
