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) can interact with certain foods and beverages, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Here are the key drug-food interactions to be aware of:

Medications that are commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) are potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, which are the same drugs that are used to treat pulmonary hypertension and high blood pressure. Using certain medications together can alter the effectiveness of the drugs. Medicines that are CYP3A4 inhibitors are known for reducing liver function and increasing the elimination of alcohol while increasing blood pressure while still affecting erection quality. CYP3A4 inhibitors must be prescribed by a doctor to safely lower blood pressure.
Contains: The active ingredient of Cialis is Tadalafil. The active ingredient in many medications is not available for others. If you are taking any of the medications listed below, please call 1-800-523-5796 for medical advice.
