Can Plavix cause erectile dysfunction or reduce the efficacy of Viagara? ## What are all the side effects of plavix or clavix? Could any E.D. problem occur due to this? ## Yes, any medication like this can cause erectile dysfunction. Ultimately, you need increased blood flow, these medications thin the blood, so thus, you do not get the needed blood flow. As to Viagra, please remember it is not a miracle drug, it can help, but will not make you instantly erect and turned on, you will still need the normal stimulation!

I was out shoveling with my daughter and slipped on the driveway and knocked into her, she slipped and the shovel fell, bumping me in the head.

what are the differences of taking coumadin or aspirin to prevent blood clots ## Coumadin is a much stronger and more reliably tested prescription medication. You should follow your doctor's advice on which one is best for you. ## Verwon, thank you for your reply. My sister is the one that has the problem and she had asked me to look this question up on my computer for her. She is following her doctor's orders, but she still has questions as she doesn't like how she feels taking the coumadin. ## There are many people who don't like Coumadin, there are other options she could speak to her doctor about, Aspirin and Plavix are two of them.
