Cialis Contraindications
Cialis is known to contradict with the following medications:
- Nitrates - Cialis is not recommended for patients
using any form of organic nitrate, either regularly and/or intermittently.
In clinical trials, Tadalafil was shown to potentiate the hypotensive
effect of nitrates due to the combined effects of nitrates and tadalafil
on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway. This leads the blood pressure to drop
to dangerous levels.
- Alpha Blockers - Cialis is not recommended for patients
taking any alpha-blockers because of the blood-pressure-lowering effect.
- Hypersensitivity - Patients with a known hypersensitivity
to tadalafil or any component of the tablet should not take it.
