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) is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It is one of the most common medicines used to treat ED and is also known as a PDE5 inhibitor. When you take tadalafil, you can take it with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food. Tadalafil is also known as a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) in the body. This helps to relax the smooth muscles of the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when the person is sexually excited. Cialis is available in tablet form. You can take this medicine with or without food. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Cialis is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor.

Whether you can take Tadalafil at the same time as your other medications will depend on which medications you are taking.
You are required to complete a short medical consultation questionnaire that asks for any medications that you are prescribed from your GP and will indicate the medications that can’t be taken alongside Tadalafil.
There are several medicines which should not be taken concurrently with Tadalafil. Medicines which can have potentially serious interactions with Tadalafil include :-
• Any alpha-blocker medicines e.g. doxazosin (Cardura), alfuzosin (Xatral), tamsulosin, terazosin, or Flomax, that you can buy in the pharmacy. (These medicines may be used to treat prostate problems or high blood pressure).
• Isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, or use a GTN spray or tablets
for chest pain or use Rectogesic ointment?
• Nicorandil (Ikorel), used to treat angina
• Cimetidine, used to treat stomach or duodenal (peptic) ulcers
• Theophylline, used to treat asthma
• Antibiotics:- Clarithromycin, Erythromycin and Telithromycin
• Anti-fungals such as itraconazole and ketoconazole
• Seizure medication:- carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone
• Heart or blood pressure medication:- disopyramide, amiodarone, quinidine and procainamide
• Anti-viral medication:- telaprevir, atazanavir, retonavir, indinavir, saquinavir and cobicistat
• Recreational drugs:- amyl nitrate (poppers)
If you are taking any prescribed medication from your GP then you can simply write those in the “Is there any other medical information that you think our doctor should know?” section on the medical questionnaire. Then, our doctor will know whether the Tadalafil is safe for you to take.

Cialis, also known as tadalafil, is a medication that is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction). It is available in different strengths and is typically taken once or twice a day. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you to achieve and maintain an erection. It is not suitable for women and children.
Before taking Cialis, it is important to consult a doctor before taking it, as they may have a history of heart problems or a history of cardiovascular diseases. It is also important to note that it should only be taken as directed by a doctor and not in combination with other medications.
It is important to note that Cialis should not be taken with nitrates (medicines used to treat chest pain) as this may lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
If you have been prescribed Cialis, you should follow the instructions of your doctor and consult him or her before taking this medication.
