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:
If you are taking Cialis or tadalafil as key drug-food interactions occur, it’s recommended to wait and see the doctor as the cause of an interactions may be worsened by the medication.

Cialis (tadalafil) can significantly lower blood pressure in sensitive individuals. While this combination is not typically used daily, it can be taken if necessary and___ potentially nonpartisan with lower blood pressure lowering effects with other antihypertensive agents.
The first clinical trial for Cialis is conducted by Eli Lilly in September, 2023, to assess the safety and efficacy of Cialis in men with erectile dysfunction. The study will also evaluate the effect of Cialis and tadalafil in comparison with placebo on erection hardness. Cialis is the generic version of Cialis, and tadalafil is the brand name of Cialis. Both medications have similar effects on erectile function but are much less effective. One study has been conducted with Cialis but the findings were disappointing. This trial is the first to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Cialis in men with erectile dysfunction. The drug has a longer half-life than other erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra and Levitra and is less likely to cause priapism (prolonged erection).

A trial of the 5-alpha reductase inhibitor sildenafil has also been conducted in patients with erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil is available in tablet form and is a generic version of Cialis.
The study was funded by Eli Lilly in March 2022. For further information, please see the full prescribing information, and contact the Eli Lilly Patient Information Center at 040 234 6570.

Cialis..Cialis: Effect of 5-Alpha reductase Inhibitor Sildenafil on Erection Hardness in Adult Men With Erectile DysfunctionCialis: Effect of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Sildenafil on Erection Hardness in Adult Men With Erectile DysfunctionA summary of the efficacy and safety of Cialis in men with erectile dysfunction: Results from a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, placebo-controlled trialThe results of the two-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, double-dummy, randomized, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study,have demonstrated that Cialis (5 mg) and tadalafil (2.5 mg) significantly improved erectile function in a significant percentage of patients with erectile dysfunction. In the patients who received Cialis, the effect of Cialis 5 mg was significantly better than that of tadalafil 2.5 mg. The 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (Sildenafil) Cialis (2.5 mg) was significantly better at improving erectile function than tadalafil 2.5 mg.
The authors conclude that this study provides additional evidence that Cialis (5 mg) is effective in improving erectile function.

Viagra, or cialis, is a popular medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. Viagra can increase blood flow, allowing for increased sexual activity. Cialis is also widely prescribed for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that affects about 30% of men and can impact quality of life.
Viagra and Cialis are both used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Viagra can help men get and maintain an erection by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. Cialis can help men manage ED by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs, which can improve blood flow and reduce symptoms of ED. Both Viagra and Cialis are used for PAH, where symptoms of PAH are caused by an enlarged heart or lungs.
Viagra and Cialis work by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. This increases the amount of blood that can enter the penis, which helps men get and maintain an erection.
Viagra and Cialis offer several benefits for men who take ED and PAH. These benefits can help men achieve and maintain erections, which can improve sexual performance and satisfaction in the bedroom. Cialis can help men get and maintain erections, which can improve sexual performance and satisfaction in the bedroom. Both Viagra and Cialis can help manage ED and PAH symptoms, such as painful erections, difficulty achieving erections, and symptoms of ED such as headache, facial flushing, indigestion, and back pain.
Viagra and Cialis are both FDA-approved for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Learn more about. Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which can help men achieve and maintain erections in the bedroom.
Cialis has been shown to help men get and maintain erections in the bedroom. Viagra for PAH is FDA-approved for PAH. Viagra for ED works by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs, which can improve blood flow and reduce symptoms of ED.
Viagra and Cialis can be taken either as needed, 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, or as a once-a-day use. The once-a-day use can help men achieve and maintain erections, while the once-a-week use can help men manage ED symptoms.
Both Viagra and Cialis can help treat ED, but they may be taken with or without food. Men who have a high-fat diet or exercise regularly should engage in sexual activity for at least 30 minutes after taking Viagra or Cialis, and men who are overweight or obese should avoid sexual activity for at least six hours after taking Cialis.
While Viagra and Cialis are FDA-approved to treat ED, they may cause some side effects. These side effects can vary in intensity from person to person, and may affect how well a man is able to perform when taking the medicine.
Less frequent (more common) side effects are (side effects may affect more than 1 in 10 men), such as:
For Cialis, these side effects are less frequent but may more than mitigate after a 30-minute interval. If a frequency is more common, a 30-minute interval is the more frequent side effect.
