Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs. This is crucial for safe Cialis use.
Nitrates, commonly used to treat angina (chest pain), interact dangerously with Cialis, potentially causing a significant drop in blood pressure. This combination can lead to dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack. Avoid using them together.
Alpha-blockers, often prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, can also increase the risk of low blood pressure when combined with Cialis. Your doctor might adjust your dosages or suggest alternatives.
Certain antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole and itraconazole, can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially leading to side effects. Discuss this with your physician before combining them.
Grapefruit juice inhibits enzymes that metabolize Cialis, resulting in higher blood levels and a greater chance of side effects. Limit or avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis.
Alcohol can enhance Cialis’s side effects, particularly dizziness and low blood pressure. Moderate your alcohol consumption while using Cialis.
