Potential Side Effects and Interactions of Tadalafil 100mg

Tadalafil 100mg, while effective for many, carries potential side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary. Less frequent, but still possible, are back pain, muscle aches, and vision changes (blurred vision, sensitivity to light). Rarely, more serious side effects like prolonged erection (priapism) or sudden vision loss can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.

Medication Interactions

Tadalafil interacts with some medications. Specifically, combining it with nitrates (used for chest pain) can dangerously lower blood pressure. Also, avoid concurrent use with alpha-blockers (often prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate), as this combination can also cause significant blood pressure drops. Consult your doctor before starting tadalafil, especially if you’re on other medications. This includes over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Other Considerations

Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Grapefruit juice also interacts negatively, potentially increasing tadalafil levels in your blood. If you have heart problems, kidney disease, or liver disease, discuss tadalafil use with your physician carefully. Dosage adjustments may be necessary. This information isn’t exhaustive; always follow your doctor’s instructions and report any concerns.
