Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, before starting Vidalista. This includes nitrates, commonly used to treat angina (chest pain). Combining them with tadalafil can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Specific Medications to Discuss
Certain medications interact significantly with tadalafil. These include alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure and prostate problems), antifungal medications like ketoconazole and itraconazole, and HIV protease inhibitors. These interactions can increase the risk of side effects, notably low blood pressure and dizziness.
Other Potential Interactions
Grapefruit juice can significantly increase tadalafil levels in your blood, potentially leading to heightened side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Vidalista. Also, discuss the use of rifabutin or rifampicin (antibiotics) with your doctor, as they may reduce tadalafil’s effectiveness.
