Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies. This includes nitrates, often found in medications for chest pain. Combining these with Cialis can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-blockers, used to treat high blood pressure or prostate problems, can also interact with Cialis, potentially leading to low blood pressure. Your doctor may adjust your dosage to minimize this risk.
Certain antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole and itraconazole, can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially leading to side effects. Grapefruit juice also contains compounds that interact with Cialis metabolism; avoid consuming it while taking the medication.
Alcohol can intensify Cialis side effects, such as dizziness and headache. Moderate your alcohol consumption or avoid it altogether while using Cialis.
Always consult your physician before mixing Cialis with other medications or substances. They can provide personalized advice based on your health condition and medications you are currently taking. Never self-medicate; accurate medical guidance is paramount.
