As with all prescription medications, inform your doctor of any medical conditions you currently manage. Tell them about any and all medications, prescription drugs, and supplements you are taking before starting treatment with Cialis. Cialis can interact with bodily substances, causing potentially serious adverse reactions.
Specifically, you should inform your health care provider of any alpha-blocker, antifungal, HIV protease inhibitor, or high blood pressure medication you are taking. Remember to mention any herbal products you use, especially St. John’s wort.
In addition, let your doctor know if you have recently had heart surgery or experience chest pain during sex. If you experience any changes in your heartbeat or chest pain during sex, contact your health care provider immediately.

Please not consume this medication before meals containing alcohol or other medications that can affect how cialis is metabolized.
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.
Cialis (tadalafil) can interact with certain foods and beverages, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Here are the key drug-food interactions to be aware of:

Cialis (tadalafil) is used to treat the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate enlargement (enlarged prostate).

Active ingredient:Tadalafil
Directions: Take 1 tablet with a full glass of water to reduce stomach upset. Do not take more than 1 tablet in 24 hours.
Caution: Do not use if you have heart disease or a history of priapism (a painful and prolonged erection). Do not use if you have a history of priapism before you start treatment with Cialis.
Precautions: Do not use if you are taking nitrates for chest pain, heart problems, or blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you have ever had sudden vision loss, eye problems such as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), sudden hearing loss, or if you have had any of these conditions during your treatment with Cialis.
Contraindications: Cialis should not be used if you are allergic to tadalafil or any of its ingredients or if you are taking a nitrate medication, such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or isosorbide mononitrate, as these ingredients may cause a severe drop in blood pressure. It may also cause dizziness or lightheadedness.
Cialis is contraindicated in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, due to potential risks to the developing baby.
