Grapefruit Alert!!!

I have been taking Viagra as prescribed by my urologist. Awhile back I noticed that I was getting addicted to the stuff. I was only getting an erection if I took Viagra.

This is when I started doing research and ended up here doing PE. Today I am suppose to go to the urologist and I was going to tell him how Viagra was working and maybe change prescriptions. When I got out the bottle of Viagra I noticed a little label that the pharmacist put on the outside.

“Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking this medication”

First time I ever saw that!!!

Every morning I have a half of grapefruit. Lately because of the hurricanes in Florida the grapefruits are smaller. So my dear wife has been cutting up a whole little grapefruit and giving it to me. So for the last 2 months, at least, My intake of grapefruit has been increased by 33%.

After my Doctors appointment I’ll post what he saids about this.

Here is some info on a variety of grapefruit drug interactions:

Just Google: grapefruit drug interactions, for a lot more on this subject.

Wow!!! Can you imagine that ????. I am so totally pissed of at this. Then my wife wonders why I don’t like going to doctors.

The pharmacist could have said something. The doctor could have sent out a letter. Thank you so much for posting these links. I printed them out and I am taking them to the doctors with me when I go today. Unbelievible.

‘The pharmacist could have said something’

Well, it was on the bottle.

Not on bottle #1,2,3,4,5…………….! Plus there were 4 other stupid labels on the bottle such as, ‘this will not prevent HIV’ , ‘don’t use as birth control’ etc. These are all so small it is hard to read with bifocals.

Shouldn’t one that said, “This medicine WILL NOT WORK if…….” be more promient!

Someone should have said something since this information came to light after it was initially prescribed to me.

We have threads on this going back one and two full years.

‘Not on bottle #1,2,3,4,5…………….! ‘

Well, you should have told us that before I opened my big cake-hole.

That’s funny. :)

Here is another one. I was talking with my brother the other night. He lives in Florida. Every Christmas he sends up a big box of Indian River Citrus. So he told me, “Because of the hurricanes, don’t expect that box of fruit this year.”

Should I call him back and say, “Don’t send any grapefruit, I rather get laid!”?

Well I am back from the doctor’s appointment. He wasn’t overly concerned about my rage. Basically he said that I should stop eating grapefruit. I suppose it is not like my life was in jeopardy.

On a Bel curve I guess I was on the bottom right of it. As he explained it was that some people are not affected, some are affected, and some people highly affected by the combination of Viagra and grapefruit. So I am in of the group of “highlies.” I guess I’ll try oatmeal for a while. He did give me free samples of Calis and Invetra so I guess all is forgiven. That is if I get laid tonight.:)
