Cialis drug interactions

Taking other substances when using prescription impotence treatment may cause one or more Cialis side effects. These substances include:

Alcohol

Combining Cialis with an excessive amount of alcohol can cause a fast heart rate, low blood pressure, dizziness, and headache.

CYP 3A4 inhibitors

Cialis is broken down by certain enzymes in the liver known as CYP 3A4 enzymes. CYP 3A4 inhibitors are medications which decrease the production of the enzymes, thereby increasing the level of Cialis in the blood. This may lead to serious Cialis side effects in some users.

Alpha blockers

Taking Cialis with an alpha blocker can cause low pressure. Dangerously low blood pressure among other common Cialis side effects may occur in some cases.

Blood pressure medications

When Cialis is used in combination with a high blood pressure medication your blood pressure may decrease too much. Check with your doctor before combining these medicines to best avoid Cialis side effects.

Nitrates

If you are taking nitrates, you should not use impotence tablets as you have a high chance of experiencing Cialis side effects.

Theophylline

Taking theophylline and Cialis together may cause a slight increase in heart rate. Your doctor may choose to lower or adjust your dosage if you have to take these drugs together.

Please bear in mind Cialis side effects do not occur for all users. If you have any further concerns about Cialis side effects not mentioned above please consult your doctor. View the full list of Cialis sexual health benefits at 121doc here.
