You're not supposed to eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking viagra and many other meds. Some meds do not mix well with citrus fruits and can lower the effectiveness or cause negative side effects on you physically.

If you need viagra or another med for ED, you should be consulting your doctor about it. A medical history and all medical information needs to be known in order to know if these meds are safe for you to use and what dosage. Depending on medical conditions, other medications someone might be on, these meds can cause serious medical problems and can cause heart attack or stroke.

Yes, can't be too careful when it comes to the heart.

Don't know, but, for me, don't need no Viagra, just a fuck-load of cardio exercise, which is good for the heart and circulation, circulation that is needed to sprout a boner as well as just feel good in general, and being in the presence of a younger woman! Those things are my Viagra.

And Vitamin E! And Omega Fish Oil! Basically, anything that is good for the heart and circulation is good for the boner.

substitute bourbon for the grapefruit and she'll look better and you'll have a boner..win, win

lol.........Geezers seem to know all the tricks!

Wish bourbon worked for me lol...alcohol KILLS my boner...but something to be said for "get drunk enough and she'll look like a knockout".

Hi there,
I take Viagra on a regular basis and my doctor advised me not to eat 1 hour before taking the pill and even don't drink alcohol or citrus juice. All these may lower the effect of Viagra.
This blue pill works excellent for me ;) I' 46 and I like it very much hehe I buy it online (ww.generic-meds-store.com) and I still save a lot
Cheers

Wow, too bad, I happen to LOVE citrus juice, and the juice itself is good for circulation and improves my boner. Maybe forget the Viagra and just drink citrus juice...and do a fuck-load of cardio exercise?

I'm a little scared of anything that manipulates blood circulation. I tried these Thermo Energizer Plus pills for upping metabolism, and it got the heart beating at such a fast rate, I began having tingling wrist pain and all the sensations of a heart attack...I stopped.

Seems to me Viagra diverts blood from the other extremities where it's needed and pumps it to the boner...a risky proposition if you're at risk for heart attack or stroke. Ask your doctor!

I follow what I call the "Viagra Diet". No eating for at least 4 or 5 hours prior to taking the pill. I get 6 pills a month, split them and usually a half pill will work well for 30-45 minutes of sex. My heart doctor forbades my taking Viagra, however, my internist prescribes them. Had a heart attack 12 years ago and had a stent put in. Been using Viagra about twice a week for 11 years. I am 73 and my wife is 66. Remember, "A 7" penis is a terrible thing to waste."

It's not citrus that is the issue. It specifically is grapefruit. Grapefruit inhibits some enzymes that break down different kinds of things in your blood. Since the enzymes are inhibited, blood concentrations go up. Look at it like a bucket with a hole in it that you are pouring water into; the enzymes are the hole. If you block the hole, the bucket starts filling up.

There is all kinds of info on the web as to which drugs are impacted by grapefruit juice. Note also that the effect can last for days after consuming grapefruit.

As to diverting blood from other areas, your body does that all the time; you have plenty of blood so no worries. What Viagra does is allow blood vessels to expand. The reason you don't want too much is that if your blood vessels open up too much your blood pressure drops and that can be very bad. Other things than grapefruit can combine with viagra to make this effect worse. So, be careful if you aren't working through a doc.
