Generic tadalafil, like its brand-name counterpart, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these. Prolonged erection (priapism) is another serious side effect requiring prompt medical help.
Tadalafil interacts with certain medications. Nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, are a significant concern. Combining them with tadalafil can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Consult your doctor before using tadalafil if you take nitrates.
Alpha-blockers, used to treat high blood pressure and enlarged prostate, can also interact with tadalafil, potentially leading to low blood pressure. Discuss this interaction with your physician.
Other medications that may interact include antifungal medications like ketoconazole and itraconazole, and certain HIV protease inhibitors. Always inform your doctor of all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking before starting tadalafil.
