Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies. This includes nitrates (found in some heart medications), alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate problems), and antifungal medications like ketoconazole or itraconazole. Combining Tadalafil with these medications can significantly lower blood pressure, potentially causing dizziness or fainting.
Grapefruit and Alcohol
Avoid grapefruit juice and excessive alcohol consumption while using Tadalafil. Grapefruit interacts with the enzymes that process Tadalafil, increasing its concentration in your bloodstream and potentially leading to side effects. Alcohol can also intensify side effects like headaches and dizziness.
Other Potential Interactions
Certain medications for HIV/AIDS (like ritonavir or indinavir) can also interact with Tadalafil, affecting its metabolism. Discuss any medications you are taking with your physician to ensure safe use. They can advise you on potential interactions and offer alternative treatments if needed.
