Combining Cialis (tadalafil) and ketoprofen can increase your risk of bleeding. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that thins the blood, and Cialis can have a similar effect, albeit less pronounced. This increased bleeding risk applies to both internal and external bleeding.
Specifically, watch for signs of unusual bleeding, such as nosebleeds, easy bruising, or blood in your urine or stool. Report any such occurrences to your doctor immediately.
Your doctor should carefully weigh the benefits of both medications against the potential risks of this interaction before prescribing them together. If you experience unexpected bleeding while taking both medications, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
Alternative NSAIDs with a lower risk of bleeding might be considered if ketoprofen is absolutely necessary. Always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.
