Heartburn from Viagra Conclusion • One common side effect of using Viagra, or its generic form Sildenafil, is a feeling of heartburn during the time the medication is working. • This side effect stems from the medication doing what it is supposed to do — loosening the muscles. But, when this happens to the muscle dividing your stomach from your esophagus, it could mean acid reflux. • Start by making sure you are drinking lots of water with your dose to lessen the heartburn. • But, if that does not work you can ask your doctor about reducing your dose, or trying over-the-counter antacid medications. • Anything that can cause heartburn already, may also worsen the reflux from taking Viagra. So, steer clear of alcohol, smoking, spicy foods, fried foods, or large meals when using Viagra to avoid a worse bout of heartburn.
