Always inform your doctor about all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, before starting Cialis Daily. This includes prescription medications, even those you don’t currently use regularly.
Certain medications can interact negatively with Cialis Daily, potentially leading to adverse effects. Here are some key medication classes to discuss with your physician:
- Nitrates: Combining Cialis Daily with nitrates (used to treat angina) can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This combination is strictly contraindicated. Alpha-blockers: These drugs, often prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, can increase the risk of low blood pressure when taken with Cialis Daily. Your doctor may adjust your dosage or choose alternative treatments. CYP3A4 inhibitors: Some medications inhibit the enzyme CYP3A4, which metabolizes Cialis. This can lead to increased Cialis levels in your blood, potentially increasing side effects. Examples include ketoconazole, ritonavir, and erythromycin. Careful monitoring or dosage adjustments may be necessary. CYP3A4 inducers: Conversely, medications that induce CYP3A4 can decrease Cialis levels, reducing its effectiveness. Rifampin is a notable example. Guanylate cyclase stimulators: These drugs, such as riociguat, share a similar mechanism of action with Cialis and should not be used concurrently due to the risk of severe hypotension.
This list is not exhaustive. Other medications may interact with Cialis Daily. Always provide a complete medication list to your healthcare provider. They can assess potential risks and recommend safe medication combinations or alternatives.
Before starting any new medication while taking Cialis Daily, consult your doctor. Keep a detailed record of all your medications, including dosages. Share this information with your physician and pharmacist. Report any unusual side effects immediately to your doctor.
Open communication with your healthcare team is crucial for safe and effective Cialis Daily use. Don’t hesitate to ask questions; your health is paramount.
