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.

• Isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, or use a GTN spray or tablets
for chest pain or use Rectogesic ointment?

What is it
Cialis (tadalafil) is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which increases blood flow to the penis and helps with erectile function. When combined with sexual stimulation, tadalafil increases blood flow by relaxing muscles in the walls of blood vessels, allowing increased blood flow into the penis. The drug is also known for helping men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused. It belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
Cialis (tadalafil) has been approved by the FDA for treating erectile dysfunction in men, and it is the only PDE5 inhibitor approved specifically for this indication.
