Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and supplements. This includes nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, used to treat angina. Combining Malegra 100 with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Certain medications can affect how Malegra 100 works, or vice-versa. These include:
- Alpha-blockers: These drugs, often used to treat high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, can increase the risk of low blood pressure when combined with Malegra 100. CYP3A4 inhibitors: Medications that inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme (like ketoconazole or erythromycin) can increase Malegra 100 levels in your blood, potentially leading to side effects. CYP3A4 inducers: Conversely, medications that induce this enzyme (like rifampin) can decrease Malegra 100’s effectiveness. Antihypertensives: Combining Malegra 100 with other blood pressure medications can cause excessive blood pressure lowering.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Malegra 100’s side effects, particularly dizziness and lightheadedness. Avoid excessive alcohol use while taking this medication.
Grapefruit juice can also interact with Malegra 100. Limit or avoid grapefruit juice consumption during treatment.
