Always inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs. Cialis can interact negatively with nitrates, often found in medications for chest pain. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Certain antifungal medications like ketoconazole and itraconazole can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially leading to side effects. Similarly, some HIV protease inhibitors can have a similar effect.
Grapefruit juice inhibits the enzymes that metabolize Cialis, resulting in higher blood levels of the drug. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Cialis’s side effects, such as headaches and dizziness. Moderate your alcohol intake while using this medication.
Consult your physician before combining Cialis with other medications to ensure safe and effective use. They can help assess potential interactions and recommend appropriate adjustments to your treatment plan.
