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.
