CIALIS DRUG INTERACTIONS

Cialis is a highly effective orally administered drug for treating erectile dysfunction, more commonly known as impotence. Recommended for use as needed, Cialis can also be used as a daily medication.

Drug interactions with Cialis can cause changes in blood pressure and cause your body to metabolize the medicines differently than intended, among other things. Some of the drugs that can potentially interact with Cialis include alcohol, ritonavir, and alpha blockers. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about any Cialis drug interactions that may apply to you.

Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

Since PDE5 inhibitors such as tadalafil may cause transiently low blood pressure (hypotension), organic nitrates should not be taken for at least 48 hours after taking the last dose of tadalafil. Using organic nitrites (such as the sex drug amyl nitrite) within this timeframe may increase the risk of life-threatening hypotension.

Since people who have taken tadalafil within the past 48 hours cannot take organic nitrates to relieve angina (such as glyceryl trinitrate spray), these patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience anginal chest pain. In the event of a medical emergency, paramedics and medical personnel should be notified of any recent doses of tadalafil.

If you are also taking certain drugs (potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 such as fosamprenavir, amprenavir, ritonavir, nelfinavir, erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole), you must place special limits on your use of tadalafil to reduce the risk of severe dizziness. If you are taking tadalafil as needed, do not take more than one 10-milligram dose of tadalafil in a 72-hour period. If you are taking tadalafil once a day, do not take more than 2.5 milligrams a day. Contact your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
