Cialis (tadalafil) is a PDE5 inhibitor indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It is a selective and competitive inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the penis, allowing increased blood flow to help achieve an erection. Cialis improves blood flow to the penis by improving the natural reaction of blood to the erectile tissue. This improves the ability of the penis to sustain an erection.
The most common side effects of Cialis are headache, dizziness, nasal congestion, back pain, muscle pain and flushing. In rare cases, the drug may also cause sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss or tinnitus in some men. These symptoms usually resolve on their own within 24 hours. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

Whether you can take Tadalafil at the same time as your other medications will depend on which medications you are taking.
You are required to complete a short medical consultation questionnaire that asks for any medications that you are prescribed from your GP and will indicate the medications that can’t be taken alongside Tadalafil.
There are several medicines which should not be taken concurrently with Tadalafil. Medicines which can have potentially serious interactions with Tadalafil include :-
• Any alpha-blocker medicines e.g. doxazosin (Cardura), alfuzosin (Xatral), tamsulosin, terazosin, or Flomax, that you can buy in the pharmacy. (These medicines may be used to treat prostate problems or high blood pressure).
• Isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, or use a GTN spray or tablets
for chest pain or use Rectogesic ointment?
• Nicorandil (Ikorel), used to treat angina
• Cimetidine, used to treat stomach or duodenal (peptic) ulcers
• Theophylline, used to treat asthma
• Antibiotics:- Clarithromycin, Erythromycin and Telithromycin
• Anti-fungals such as itraconazole and ketoconazole
• Seizure medication:- carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone
• Heart or blood pressure medication:- disopyramide, amiodarone, quinidine and procainamide
• Anti-viral medication:- telaprevir, atazanavir, retonavir, indinavir, saquinavir and cobicistat
• Recreational drugs:- amyl nitrate (poppers)
If you are taking any prescribed medication from your GP then you can simply write those in the “Is there any other medical information that you think our doctor should know?” section on the medical questionnaire. Then, our doctor will know whether the Tadalafil is safe for you to take.
Read available consultation questions before starting treatmentIf you are being treated with Tadalafil and you are experiencing Erectile Dysfunction, or have a medical history such as a heart or blood vessel disease or problems with the penis, it is important to read the patient information leaflet that comes with the script for Tadalafil and any other medical prescriptions that you are taking before starting the treatment.
The Erectile Dysfunction Patient Information that you receive will depend on the Tadalafil and your medical history, and can have potential interactions with other drugs you are taking. When you are diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction or having it for which there is underlying risk, you will be prescribed, as normal, one or more medicines that can help you. The most common medicines that can interact with Tadalafil are :-
• Amlodipine,
• Amlodipine nitrates,
• Armodan,
• Arantoff,
• Bextra,
• Bedvala,
• Bystolic,
• Bystrest,
• Cialis,
• Clopidogrel,

It is important to discuss all the medications you are taking with your doctor before you start treatment with Tadalafil, so that there are no adverse interactions.
Take Tadalafil as a tablet or a vial in the medical script. If you’re taking Tadalafil with Cialis as a script written, then take the combination of tablets or a script simultaneously as advised by your GP. In order to the using of Tadalafil with Cialis as a prescription medication, you must first consult with your GP.
