Is It Safe

[annieigma]

Is it safe for a 69 year old to take viagra, or a similar pill? He takes statins and bendrofluorometiacide ( spelling not quite right) and is physically quite fit. I personally have never heard of anyone dying from these drugs??

69 is not a good age to be taking Viagra... but a nice situation to find yourself in!

[RandyMarsh]

Prescribed?

[annieigma]

Ha Ha mastercraft,
The older lot know how to party! He says that He heard on radio 4 the other day that middle age is now upto 70, then old age from 71, as the expected life span of a male is 85, so He's looking at several years more of fun and games, i think!!

if you can get past the HTML mess, it looks as if it's safe but less effective as you get towards 80

[Peter Pedant]

yes

[Sqad]

If he takes statins and bendrofluazide it suggests that he may be predisposed to cardio vascular disease or may have had an episode of heart failure already.
In which case I would be very careful when taking Viagra.

Hello sqad, are you back at home now ?.

Sorry for going off topic, annieigma.

[Peter Pedant]

yes on the grounds he is gonna take it anyway

[sandyRoe]

Would Cialis carry the same caution?

[Sqad]

Hi Tony....came home yesterday...thanks.

PP.;-) that wasn't the question, which was "Is it safe?"

[tonyav]

Good news that, sqad. Hope your on the mend.

[murraymints]

aside...SQAD !! hugs xx

[Sqad]

sandy...yes......just the same.

[EDDIE51]

make sure he swallows it quickly to avoid getting a stiff neck ;-)

[Sqad]

murray...what about the "sloppy kiss?"

[jno]

sandyRoe, email programmes used to block mail containing the word Cialis, as suspected spam... terrible problem for the Labour party, who were unable to mention so-cialis-m.

[murraymints]

BIG slobbery ones....CATCH !!! :O) xx

[sandyRoe]

Those email programmes must first have been introduced in Blair's time. You never saw mention of socialism then.

perhaps that's why they had to abandon the idea: if the message won't go through, change the message.

Shovel it down his throat and get in position.
