They say that by the end of this year, or the next year at the latest, tadalafil is going to become the best sold erectile dysfunction medication in the world, mostly under the name Cialis, but also under the generic tadalafil name. And as you already know, we are all for this as tadalafil is definitely the superior such medication on the market and as other medications just do not seem to match its effect, mostly the duration of its effects. And as it is becoming the best sold medication out there, we believe that we need to inform the general public about the side effects and the interactions that are possible when using this drug.
Interaction is an occurrence when two medications interact and cause a number of effects. For instance, one medication can cause the body to absorb the other medication to a lesser extent and can cause an overdose on the other drug. In other cases, the effects of a medication can be enhanced by the introduction of the other medication, or they might be reduced. All in all, there are a lot of effects that can be produced and one needs to be very careful not to combine medications that will interact.
When tadalafil is in question, there are a lot of drugs that can interact with it. For one, nitrite and nitrate drugs (in most cases heart medications) will interact with tadalafil and cause potentially fatal effects. Other drugs may not be such a serious risk, but they still need to be avoided if you are taking tadalafil. These include: rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, barbiturates, antidepressants, antifungals, prostate disorder drugs, hypertension drugs, heart medicines, AIDS medications as well as some seizure medications. In fact, the best thing to do is to ask your doctor about any possible combination with tadalafil and see what they have to say about it.
When potential tadalafil side effects are in question, we would first like to point out that they are not common in the least. In fact, 9 out of 10 men who use tadalafil report no side effects at all and when they do, in the vast majority of cases, these are minor side effects like back pains, flushing and headaches, perhaps some gastrointestinal side effects.
However, there have been cases of some more severe side effects occurring and although these are almost entirely improbable, you need to make sure that you recognize them and report them to the doctor if you experience them. These include such as: convulsions, priapism, lightheadedness, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, chest pains, sudden hearing or vision changes or loss.
There are also people who are allergic to tadalafil and as you cannot know if you are, you need to be apprehensive of any symptoms like the following: swelling of the airways and difficulties breathing, as well as any hives.
