Filagra is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), containing the active ingredient Sildenafil, the same as Viagra. Grapefruit juice can interact with Sildenafil, so it’s important to be cautious about combining the two. Interaction between Filagra (Sildenafil) and Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit juice can increase the levels of Sildenafil in the bloodstream, which may lead to an increased risk of side effects. Filagra juice affects enzymes in the liver, specifically CYP3A4, which is responsible for breaking down Sildenafil. When grapefruit juice inhibits this enzyme, it can cause higher concentrations of Sildenafil to remain in the body for longer periods, potentially intensifying side effects such as: Headaches Dizziness Flushing Low blood pressure Visual disturbances Recommendation: It is generally advised to avoid grapefruit juice while taking Filagra (Sildenafil) to prevent the risk of these enhanced side effects. If you consume grapefruit juice, be aware of potential symptoms and consult your doctor if you experience anything unusual. For safety, it’s always best to follow your healthcare provider's guidance regarding food and drink restrictions when using Filagra or any other Sildenafil-based medication.
