If you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and are considering taking Sildenafil (as found in products like Cenforce), here’s what the current evidence and guidance suggest — but always consult your doctor first. What we know Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE?5) inhibitor, commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. Homeopathic Pharmacy +2 medzoma.com prescribing information for sildenafil notes that patients must be evaluated for cardiovascular status before use; use is contraindicated for some conditions such as “patients for whom sexual activity is inadvisable (e.g., severe cardiovascular disease)”. NAFDAC Greenboo What this means for OSA If you have untreated or severe sleep apnea, taking sildenafil may raise risks to your respiratory status during sleep, Cenforce to that published study. It might worsen apnea episodes and drop oxygen saturation. Sleep apnea is associated with cardiovascular strain (high blood pressure, heart disease, arrhythmias). Since sildenafil has effects on blood pressure and the vascular system, your doctor needs to assess your cardiovascular fitness and other comorbidities. medzoma.com +1 If your OSA is being treated (e.g., with CPAP), and your cardiovascular status is stable, your doctor may judge the risk differently — but this needs medical supervision. My recommendation Because of the sleep?apnea study showing worsened respiratory events, you should not assume sildenafil (or Cenforce) is safe without professional evaluation. ts)
