Sildenafil Information

is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), commonly known as impotence, in men.

In one study, ingestion of 250 ml (approximately one cup) of grapefruit juice one hour before and together with sildenafil increased the total amount of sildenafil absorbed by 23%, but tended to delay the absorption of the drug.¹ The authors of this study recommended that sildenafil and grapefruit juice not be taken together.
