Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs, before starting Cialis Professional. This includes nitrates, which are found in some heart medications. Combining Cialis Professional with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-Blockers and Cialis Professional
Concurrent use with alpha-blockers, medications used to treat high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, can significantly lower blood pressure. Your doctor should carefully monitor you if you’re taking both. A dosage adjustment might be necessary.
Other Medications
Cialis Professional may interact with antifungal medications like ketoconazole and itraconazole, increasing its effects. Similarly, interactions can occur with HIV protease inhibitors and macrolide antibiotics. These interactions can lead to increased side effects. Discuss any medication changes with your doctor.
Grapefruit Juice and Alcohol
Avoid grapefruit juice and excessive alcohol consumption while taking Cialis Professional. Grapefruit juice can amplify the drug’s effects, increasing the risk of side effects. Alcohol can worsen some side effects, such as dizziness and lightheadedness. Moderate alcohol intake is recommended.
