Best Answer

Viagra is contraindicated in anyone with "severe renal impairment". However since you've been transplanted, one would hope that the transplant is functioning correctly so that you do not have any "renal impairment". However, the other risk is that you may be on post-transplant medication which interacts with Viagra, in which case it is really advisable to check with your consultant (or even your GP) that it's safe for you to take; they have databasing software which will flag up if you're on anything with interacts badly with Viagra.

There are other conditions which contraindicate using Viagra and since your consultant/GP does have access to your full medical record, it's best to check with them.

The more replacement parts a patient has, the greater the risk of tissue rejection. Transplantation is not without risk but not getting the transplant also carries its own share of risks.
