Brief Answer:
rarely erectile dysfunction

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Warfarin is not a common cause for erectile problems. But rarely it can cause.

Fortunately there is no interaction known with Viagra. So occasional use may be OK. As Viagra can increase load on heart, it is better not to use it frequently.

Hope this helps.
Regards
