\nI would like to take Viagra but one of my kidneys is not working 100% \u2013 can I still go for \u00a0it? And how much can I take in one go?<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Men with kidney problems can usually take Viagra<\/a>\u00a0(sildenafil) in the normal way unless they have significantly reduced kidney function. It is best if you discuss this face-to-face with a doctor who knows you, unless you are sure that you do not have significantly reduced kidney function. The maximum dose of Viagra\/sildenafil is 100mg per day.<\/strong>\u00a0See information about starting dose for Viagra<\/a>. Diseases such as diabetes and\u00a0kidney disease can affect hormone levels, blood circulation, and energy levels, which can contribute to\u00a0erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
