When taking Tadarise 20 (which contains Tadalafil, commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction and sometimes for pulmonary hypertension), it's important to be cautious about interactions with other medications. Here’s a list of drugs and substances you should avoid or discuss with your healthcare provider before combining them with Tadarise 20:
1. Nitrates
Nitrates (such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate) are commonly used to treat chest pain (angina). When taken together with Tadalafil, they can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness, fainting, heart attack, or stroke.
2. Alpha-blockers
Medications like doxazosin, tamsulosin, and alfuzosin, used to treat high blood pressure and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can also lower blood pressure. Combining them with Tadarise 20 mg may cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting.
3. Other Erectile Dysfunction Medications
Using other ED medications (like sildenafil, vardenafil, or avanafil) along with Tadarise 20 may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure or other side effects.
4. Ritonavir and Other HIV Protease Inhibitors
Ritonavir, along with other protease inhibitors like indinavir or atazanavir, can increase the levels of Tadalafil in the blood, potentially increasing the risk of side effects such as headache, flushing, and low blood pressure.
5. Antifungal Medications
Ketoconazole, itraconazole, and other azole antifungals can increase the concentration of Tadalafil in the blood, raising the risk of side effects.
6. Antibiotics
Certain antibiotics, like clarithromycin and erythromycin, may interact with Tadarise 20, potentially increasing Tadalafil levels in your body and increasing side effects.
7. Alpha-2 Agonists
Medications like clonidine, which are used for hypertension, may interact with Tadalafil and cause blood pressure to fall too low.
8. Grapefruit and Grapefruit Juice
Grapefruit can increase the blood levels of Tadalafil, potentially enhancing side effects.
9. Other Blood Pressure Medications
Care should be taken when combining Tadarise with other antihypertensives, as it may increase the blood pressure-lowering effects.
10. Other Medications for Prostate Issues
Some medications used to treat prostate problems (such as finasteride or dutasteride) may interact with Tadalafil, so it's important to consult your doctor if you're using them together.
11. Alcohol
While alcohol doesn't interact directly with Tadalafil, consuming alcohol in large amounts while using Tadarise 20 can increase the likelihood of certain side effects, like dizziness or a drop in blood pressure.
12. CYP3A4 Inhibitors and Inducers
CYP3A4 inhibitors (like grapefruit juice, ketoconazole) can increase Tadalafil's effects, and CYP3A4 inducers (like rifampin) may reduce its effectiveness.
General Precautions:
Heart conditions: If you have heart disease or have had a recent heart attack, stroke, or arrhythmias, consult your doctor.
Kidney or liver problems: Severe kidney or liver issues can affect how the body processes Tadalafil, so doses may need adjustment.
Always consult your healthcare provider before combining Tadarise 20 with any other medication, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
