A client, diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, is taking nitroglycerin for chest pain. what is the best explanation for why a nitrate-like sildenafil would be contraindicated?

Respuesta :

For  patients requiring organic nitrates ( Nitroglycerin), Sildenafil citrate is contraindicated  due to the risk for a pharmacodynamic drug interaction that can result in severe hypotension (low blood pressure) and death. Both drugs can cause the muscles that control the size of the blood vessels to relax.
