I know someone who ended up in the hospital for taking a normal dose of Viagra to counteract coke dick. Turns out that's very dangerous. I'd be pretty bummed if I wanted a "natural alternative" for this very reason but ended up with cardiac arrest
- joecool1029 2y agoYea I'm thinking the viagra wasn't the cause here, maybe don't do cocaine if you care about cardiac health.
- Teever 2y agoYou don't think that the use of a prescription medication that has an effect on blood flow could have unexpected interactions with illicit substances like cocaine and whatever else it was cut with? Why are people so dismissive of the potential side-effects of a drug like viagra?
- rscho 2y agoViagra absolutely participates. Cocaine causes intense arterial constriction, which impedes blood ejection from the heart. Viagra causes intense venous dilation, which reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart. This combination is very well-known and pretty lethal. Such cases are seen regularly in the ER. A colleague of mine died of it too.
- colechristensen 2y agoThe “natural alternatives” are either bogus or potentially dangerous. There is no such thing as a drug with no negative consequences for taking too much. If some “natural” ingredient has an effect and isn’t being regulated, who knows how much, how potent, or how consistent the dose is. “Natural” doesn’t mean safe.
- Dylan16807 2y ago> There is no such thing as a drug with no negative consequences for taking too much. Nobody is asking for that. Just a different drug that doesn't have the same interactions.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoAnother classic dangerous combo is Viagra and poppers, which both lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure too much is quite bad.
