Tadalafil Contraindications
- Administration of tadalafil while using any form of organic nitrate is contraindicated. Tadalafil was shown to potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates.
- History of known serious hypersensitivity reaction (allergy) to tadalafil.
TADALAFIL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
- Do not use tadalafil if sex is inadvisable due to cardiovascular status.
- Use of tadalafil with alpha blockers, antihypertensives or substantial amounts of alcohol (≥5 units) may lead to hypotension.
- Tadalafil is not recommended in combination with alpha blockers for the treatment of BPH because efficacy of the combination has not been adequately studied and because of the risk of blood pressure lowering. Caution is advised when tadalafil is used as a treatment for ED in men taking alpha blockers.
- If taking potent inhibitors of CYP3A4, dose should be adjusted: tadalafil for use as needed: ≤10 mg every 72 hours. For once daily use: dose not to exceed 2.5 mg.
- Seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts >4 hours. Use tadalafil with caution if predisposed to priapism.
- Stop using tadalafil and seek medical care if a sudden loss of vision occurs in one or both eyes, which could be a sign of Non Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION).
- Stop taking tadalafil and seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
- Prior to initiating treatment with tadalafil for BPH, consideration should be given to other urological conditions that may cause similar symptoms.
TADALAFIL SIDE EFFECTS: Most common adverse reactions (≥2%) include: headache, dyspepsia, back pain, myalgia, nasal congestion, flushing and pain in limb.

TADALAFIL DRUG INTERACTIONS:
- Tadalafil can potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates, alpha blockers, antihypertensives or alcohol.
- CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, ritonavir) increase tadalafil exposure. For concomitant use with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, dose adjustment may be needed.
- CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampin) decrease tadalafil exposure.
