Can You Take Viagra with Lexapro?

Yes, Viagra can generally be taken with Lexapro, but caution is required. No direct interaction between escitalopram (Lexapro) and sildenafil (Viagra) is generally recognized. Sildenafil can lower blood pressure, while escitalopram may cause dizziness in some people, so seek medical advice if the combination causes marked dizziness or fainting. Sexual side effects are common with antidepressants such as Lexapro, and sildenafil may sometimes be prescribed to help with erectile difficulties. Your doctor should monitor your blood pressure and adjust dosages if needed. Check with your healthcare provider before combining these medicines, especially if you have heart or blood-pressure problems or take other medications. Sildenafil must not be taken with nitrate medicines or riociguat because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
