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.

Before taking tadalafil, inform your doctor if you ever had an erection that lasted more than 4 hours or if you had any problems with your heart or blood vessels. This medicine can also cause priapism, which is a serious condition that can cause painful and prolonged erections that require medical attention. If you experience erections that last more than 4 hours, stop taking tadalafil and contact your doctor right away. You should also inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems. This medication can affect the results of other medications you may be taking.
To treat the erection problem, your doctor may suggest a low dose (20 mg) or a high dose (30 mg) of tadalafil. Take your medicine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Your dosage will depend on your condition and your response to the medicine.

Taking more and less tadalafil will not cause side effects.
