Can I take Cialis® if I am also taking nitrates?
No, you should not take Cialis® if you're taking
nitrates because of an unsafe drop in blood pressure

taking Cialis® to ensure that your heart is healthy
enough to handle the extra strain of having sex.
Men taking any form of nitrates should not take Cialis®.
If you take Cialis® while taking any nitrate medicine
or recreational drug containing nitrates, your blood
pressure could suddenly drop to an unsafe level. Many
prescription medicines that are used to treat chest
pains caused by heart disease contain nitrates. These
medicines include nitroglycerin (sprays, ointments,
skin patches or pastes and pills that are swallowed
or dissolve in the mouth) or isosorbide mononitrate
and dinitrate (pills that are swallowed, chewed or
dissolved in the mouth). Certain recreational drugs
such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers") also contain
nitrates. This list is not totally inclusive, so it
is important you talk with your doctor or pharmacist
if you have any questions about what nitrates are,
or if any of your medications may contain them.

Consult your doctor before taking Cialis® if you
are taking other medications.
