I recently got a call from my TRT Dr (A) turning down my request for renewing Sildenafil, because he checked my "medication profile" and found that I was seeing a urologist (B) who prescribed daily 5 mg Cialis for me (mainly to fend off BPH). The claim from A was that the two drugs have an adverse interaction when used together. I checked this on drugs.com :
Cialis and Viagra Drug Interactions - Drugs.com.
Not only does this reference state that there is no interaction between the two drugs, but that a Therapeutic Duplication benefit for treating ED might outweigh any risks. I recall reading about this several times in this forum - Cialis doesn't quite bring you where you need to be (or has different reaction times in different men), so you top it off with Viagra (Sildnafil) closer to the time of activity. Sildenafil typically acts faster and more reliably, especially in men who have lost sensitivity to Cialis.
It seems the medical profession has a way to go for multiple Mds to track a single patient's records. Some of it is on me too. I plan to cite the drugs.com reference to Dr A, give him Dr B's contact info, and if Dr A still won't give me the Sildenafil Rx, I'm sure Dr B will. I just have to be tactful enough not to lose my rapport with Dr A, because TRT has been good for me.
