Inform your doctor of all your medical conditions and medications. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Viagra, as it can interact with the medication and increase the risk of side effects. Viagra can interact with other medications. Be sure your doctor is aware of all your current prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs.
