Sildenafil (generic Viagra) should only be used with a cardiologist's approval following CABG surgery if your blood pressure is typically low. This is especially important if you take nitrates or have dizziness, as sildenafil can further drop blood pressure. The precise dosage and safety depend on your cardiac medications and blood pressure profile. If permitted, it is usually taken at the lowest dose and no more than once every 24 hours.
