Could taking some workout supplements diminish the efficacy of Viagra, et al?

I was looking closely at the ingredients of a supplement I've been using (for about three years regularly) and noticed that it contains epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) which contains icarin which is an PDE5 inhibitor. I do not recall ever getting a "chub" from using the stuff, but I DO use it fairly often as an effective pre-workout. Just wondering if LT use even at low dosage could knock the edge off of the Viagra make the old dosages less effective.
 
Which is the active ingredient in Viagra right?

Which, then the answer would be "yes, such a supplement could diminish the effects of Viagra?"
Confused.

I corrected my post: I meant that it will NOT impede the effects of Viagra or any PDE5i for that matter.
 
I find that benefits of PDE5i seem to vary greatly from day to day. Sometimes it feels as of it's drug quality but I'm guessing its more of just how your body is feeling on particular day.

Only guarantee drug is trimix.....it's a home run 99.9% time with proper use

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
