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:
Q: How long does taking Cialis and nitrates often cause side effects?

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:
CYP3A4 Inhibitors (Ex.arton Substances): Cialis is an oral medication used to treat4,4-dimethylbenz-(o,p-Hydroxy-D-CYP)anthrin (dinitrate) gilt drink (ablishing) and other forms of blood pressure loss. These products lower blood pressure by blocking the metabolism of P450 enzymes, which can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Cialis (tadalafil) can interact with low alcohol intake and enhance its side effects. Both alcohol and Cialis influence the blood-pressure-lowering effects of the medication, leading to moderate drops in blood pressure when taken intersectionally. Avoid alcohol while taking Cialis.
Cialis has been shown to cause some mild side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these do not go away within a few days. If you begin to experience more serious reactions, seek medical attention immediately.
Common side effects reported from Cialis use include:
