Usually Viagra slides right into an empty stomach without any problem.
I do get a 'tad' of irritation from Levitra.  Have settled on taking 'L'
with a single soda cracker -- works well with no pain.

The low fat content of the soda cracker should allow a fairly fast
absorption of 'V'

It is a common side effect.

Many people only have heartburn while the medicine is still in the
stomach.  Many people only have Viagra/Cialis heartburn while they are
lying down.  With Viagra, there is no work around since the active life
of the medication is so short, other than not taking it at night.

Because of its longer life in the body, one can take Cialis during the
day for a night session.  Since the Cialis will be gone from your
stomach before you sleep, heartburn should not be a problem.  A little
food after taking Cialis seems to help, too.

No guarantee here, but the odds are that it will work for you.

If you have acid reflux, you should definitely be on a regular program
of one of the drugs that control that.  I didn't know I did have it
until my esophagus began to erode thanks to Viagra.

If you don't have acid reflux, a Zantac or something taken a bit prior
to using Cialis or Viagra will probably do the trick.
