1.Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate): Cialis and nitrates both lower blood pressure. Taking them together can cause a significant and potentially life-threatening drop in blood pressure (hypotension), leading to dizziness, fainting, or even heart attack or stroke. It is contraindicated to use Cialis with nitrates or recreational "poppers" (amyl nitrites).
2.Alpha-blockers (e.g., prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin): Both Cialis and alpha-blockers relax blood vessels, which can lead to excessive blood pressure reduction when used together. This may result in dizziness, fainting, or orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing). If needed, your doctor may adjust the dosage or recommend spacing the medications.
3.Other antihypertensive drugs (e.g., atenolol, propranolol, enalapril, lisinopril): Cialis can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effects of these medications. While this interaction is usually less severe than with nitrates or alpha-blockers, it can still cause dizziness or fainting in sensitive individuals. Close monitoring of blood pressure is recommended.
Cialis (tadalafil) can interact with certain foods and beverages, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Here are the key drug-food interactions to be aware of:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that it is important for men to take effective medicines like Viagra (sildenafil) only when prescribed by a healthcare provider and for men to take effective medicines like Cialis (tadalafil) only when prescribed by a healthcare provider. In addition, a person who is prescribed Viagra should be given a prescription for Cialis only and not to take another drug for erectile dysfunction. This drug has been shown to improve the effectiveness of both erections and the duration of intercourse. This medicine is also effective in reducing the frequency of spontaneous sexual activity. However, it is important to note that this drug does not increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart attack, or the risk of developing diabetes. In addition, Viagra is contraindicated in women and children. The FDA has advised that it should not be used by men over the age of 18 who have a history of heart disease, stroke, or diabetes. Viagra and Cialis should be used together in the event that they are experiencing any adverse effects. It is also advisable to discuss the potential risks and benefits of both drugs with the doctor before taking them together.
Show MoreCialis is not known to be the best drug for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Viagra and Cialis are not suitable for men with certain health conditions, such as heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, or diabetes. Viagra and Cialis should be used only under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Tadalafil is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which is found in the blood vessels of the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. Tadalafil belongs to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors, which work by blocking the effects of phosphodiesterase 5, an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP is important for the normal development and maintenance of erections and is the principal source of erectile function.
Cialis, on the other hand, is an oral drug that is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is available in tablet form and is taken orally as a tablet. Tadalafil, which is also known as tadalafil, is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor that works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, thereby increasing the blood flow to the area. Cialis can be taken daily as a pill or as a tablet. Cialis may take several weeks to start working and can cause side effects such as headache, flushing, back pain, muscle aches, or upset stomach. Tadalafil can be taken once a day, on an empty stomach or as a morning dose. The usual starting dose of tadalafil for erectile dysfunction is 10 mg, taken orally once a day. Tadalafil is available as a generic drug called Cialis. The medication has a long half-life of 4 to 5 hours, meaning that it takes longer for the drug to begin to take effect. The drug is not recommended to be taken by women or children under the age of 18, as it may cause harm to the unborn baby. In addition, women and children should not take tadalafil.
Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged due to a lack of blood flow to the bladder. BPH is a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges, which can lead to difficulty in urinating and painful urination. Tadalafil is not recommended for use by women, children, or people who have been advised to use Cialis.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tadalafil as a prescription drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is also available as a generic drug.
