Apart from the above, Viagraฎ has also shown interactions with many other drugs.
What other drugs are known to affect Sildenafil?
Sildenafil must not be taken if a nitrate drug is also being taken for angina or other heart problems. These nitrates include:
nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, Minitran, Deponit, Transderm-Nitro),
isosorbide dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), and
isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO, Monoket), or
recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers")
Your doctor must be notified before you use Sildenafil, if you are on any of the following medication:
bosentan (Tracleer);
cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB);
an antibiotic such as erythromycin (E-Mycin, Eryc, Ery-Tab) or clarithromycin (Biaxin);
doxazosin (Cardura), prazosin (Minipress), Terazosin (Hytrin);
HIV medicines such as amprenavir (Agenerase), tipranavir (Aptivus), darunavir (Prezista), efavirenz (Sustiva), nevirapine (Viramune), indinavir (Crixivan), saquinavir (Invirase, Fortovase), lopinavir/ ritonavir (Kaletra), fosamprenavir (Lexiva), ritonavir (Norvir), atazanavir (Reyataz), or nelfinavir (Viracept);
an antifungal medication such as itraconazole (Sporanox) or ketoconazole (Nizoral);
carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital (Luminal), or phenytoin (Dilantin); or
Rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane) or rifabutin (Mycobutin).
If any of the above medicines are being taken, you might require appropriate dosage adjustments or special tests to be taken or you might just not be allowed to use Sildenafil at all.
However, thats not the end of the list. There might be others that affect Sildenafil too. It is safest to let your doctor know all details of your medications, both prescribed and over-the-counter. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. New medication must not be started unless your doctor is notified of the same.

My husband decided to try ProvigraX, and the results have been great! I just love how much harder his member has become - just like a rock! I'm much more satisfied now. 
Very impressive... I feel 30 years younger, and my sex life is so wonderful. Now I can really compete with much younger men.
I've been impotent for 10 years and I'm so glad I discovered your product. My partner even thinks it's improved my penis size.
