Do not use tadalafil if you have a known allergy to tadalafil or any of its ingredients. Avoid tadalafil if you’re taking nitrates, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This includes medications like nitroglycerin used for angina.
Heart Conditions and Blood Pressure
Tadalafil can lower blood pressure. Inform your doctor about any existing heart conditions, high or low blood pressure, or recent heart attack or stroke before using tadalafil. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or irregular heartbeat during or after use, seek immediate medical attention.
Other Medications
Some medications interact with tadalafil. Discuss all your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, with your doctor before starting tadalafil. This is particularly crucial for alpha-blockers, medications used to treat high blood pressure, and certain antifungals.
Specific Health Conditions
Individuals with severe liver or kidney problems, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare eye disease), or a history of priapism (prolonged erection) should avoid tadalafil. Consult your physician regarding your suitability for this medication if you have sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.
