GCA and Viagra
Posted , 4 users are following.
Since dropping below 5mg I am having ED problems. I read the prescription details on Viagra and it mentions vision loss. Since I have GCA this is a cause for concern. Does anyone out here have experience with this?

I don't want to worry you but one reason is diabetes, type 1 and 2 so maybe you should visit your primary dr for a blood test? Also speak to your dr about the question of vision loss with viagra. All the best, tina

Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels which I believe is also a problem caused by PMR/GCA. Since I have been using EXCEL to plot BP/HR for over a year I have noticed that when ever I taper pred my vitals jump for a few days.
Eileen, I will discuss this with my physician but I have a question for you. I am thinking of going back up to 5mgs. Do you see any problems?

What I don't think is clear from my previous post is that the suggestion of 5mg actually originated from the GP more than me. She is pretty unconcerned.
