Tadalafil belongs to the group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors, primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Erectile dysfunction is the inability to keep a hard and erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also called prostate enlargement, is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland.
Tadalafil contains ‘Tadalafil’, which works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis; this allows the blood to flow into the penis when the person is sexually excited. Thereby, it helps to treat erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil relaxes the bladder and prostate muscles, thereby reducing enlarged prostate symptoms such as difficulty in urination and urgent need to urinate.
You are advised to take Tadalafil for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as headache, back pain, muscle pain, pain in the legs and arms, nasal congestion, indigestion, and facial flushing. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take Tadalafil if you are taking nitrates (used to treat angina), riociguat (used to treat pulmonary hypertension) or alpha-blockers; if you have heart problems or stroke, low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Tadalafil is not intended for use in women. Tadalafil may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Tadalafil should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to avoid unpleasant side effects.
Read the label of Tadalafil/reeted next time you take Tadalafil for BPH before taking it for erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil may make you dizzy or drowsy. If you experience any of these, do not drive or operate machinery until you know how you should feel. Tadalafil should be taken at the first sign of a like reaction, but not later than 6 hours after you take it. Tadalafil should not be taken with any other medications used for erectile dysfunction, as it may increase C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels. Your doctor may need to investigate if Tadalafil is the right treatment for you. If you are taking Tadalafil for BPH, it is recommended that you take it with food or alcohol as directed by your doctor, as it may increase the level of Tadalafil in your body. Do not take Tadalafil if you are taking nitrates (used to treat angina). Nitrates lowers blood pressure, and while not used to treat symptoms, may reduce your blood pressure. However, they may cause a decrease in your blood pressure, so take it exactly as instructed by your doctor.If you experience any side effects, such as back pain, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, or drowsiness, talk to your doctor before taking Tadalafil. These side effects are usually mild and do not require medical treatment.

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:
Simple name of the antibiotic: C-Chew. Combining it with Cialis can significantly improve blood pressurelowering effects excella. A recent study has shown that combining it with Cialis reduces myocardial infarction (I. I. M.) rates compared to Cialis without it. This combination improves blood pressurelowering effects excella.
Prescription/ordable options: Viagra and Cialis are available in various dosage forms, including 25, 50, and 100 mg. These forms may be more convenient for some patients. Prescriptions can be required to test the effectiveness of the different forms.
Ex.poppers (e.g., amyl nitrite): While Cialis does not directly interact with alpha-blockers, combining it with poppers may worsen side effects like headaches or increase side effect with orthostatic hypotension.
Cialis (Tadalafil) is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It usually starts working within a few hours.

Tadalafil can also be used to treat high cholesterol in people with a family history of high cholesterol.

Cialis is usually taken in the morning before bedtime to improve spontaneity in sexual activity. However, it is important to take Cialis at the same time each day to avoid side effects or effectiveness.
Cialis (Tadalafil) relaxes the blood vessels in the penis. It increases blood flow into the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. This increases the size of the penis and helps men with ED to get and keep an erection.
Cialis is usually taken orally with a full glass of water. However, it is important to take the full prescribed dose of Cialis as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended dose of Cialis may vary depending on the condition being treated.

Possible drug interactions
Some drugs/medications may interact with Tadalafil. You should not take Tadalafil if you are taking nitrates (such as nitroglycerin tablets or patches) because the combination of these with Tadalafil could significantly lower blood pressure and lead to fainting or even death.

Other important safety information
Patients who have a condition called “left ventricular outlet obstruction” from valvular problems or heart muscle enlargement may get side effects such as fainting or light-headedness. Because patients with recent heart attacks or stroke, heart pains (angina), heart failure, uncontrolled blood pressure or uncontrolled irregular heart beats, severe liver disease, and retinal eye problems have not been studied, Tadalafil (Cialis) is not recommended for these patients. There may be rare occurrences of priapism or painful, prolonged erections. This is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Patients should seek prompt medical attention if their erection lasts longer than four hours.
After taking a single tablet, Tadalafil can remain in the body for up to two days. It can remain longer if patients have problems with their kidneys or liver, or they are taking certain other medications.
