What other precautions should I take when using Cialis?
Before using Cialis (Tadalafil), tell your doctor your medical history, including any allergies (especially drug allergies), any penis conditions such as fibrosis/scarring (e.g., Peyronie’s disease), history of painful/prolonged erection (priapism), sickle cell anemia, blood system cancers (such as leukemia or myeloma), eye problems (retinal diseases), kidney or liver disease, bleeding disorders or active stomach ulcers, heart diseases, stroke or severe high or low blood pressure.
Cialis should not be taken simultaneously with other ED treatments.
Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate side effects of Cialis. Since this drug may cause dizziness, caution is advised when performing tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving). To avoid dizziness and lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying position, get up slowly.
Also, eventhough what you eat has very little effect on Cialis, it is still advised to avoid eating grapefruits or drinking grapefruit juice while taking generic Cialis. Cialis drug is metabolized predominently by the hepatic enzyme known as CYP3A4. Grapefruit juice is an inhibitor of this CYP3A4 enzyme, and can therefore interfere with the normal breakdown process of the medication, leading first, to delays in absorption of Cialis, and second, to the prolonged, unnecessary, and potentially harmful presence of the drug in your body.
Cialis is not to be used in women or children. Older men may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, therefore caution is advised.
It’s important to tell your doctor about any medicines you take, both prescription and nonprescription. A medicine you are taking for another health problem might be causing your ED. Talk with your doctor about the medicines you are taking. And never stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
Do not share Cialis with others, since they may have a problem that is not effectively treated by this drug. Worse yet, sharing with someone who should not take Cialis may put their health and life at risk. They may be taking other drugs and this could create adverse drug interactions.
Canadian Cialis does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV, Hepatitis B, gonorrhea). Remember to protect yourself and your partner from sexually transmitted diseases.
