Cialis, commonly known by its generic name tadalafil, is a prescription medication used to treat various conditions including erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is commonly recommended for individuals looking to enhance sexual performance and reduce stress related issues.
Cialis works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which breaks down tadalafil. By blocking these enzymes, tadalafil helps enhance blood flow to the penis, which helps achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. The medication is available in various formulations, including tablets, topical solutions, and injections.

HTO: See HDL-hochrody phenotype
See HDL-hochrody PhenomenonThe hormonal changes caused by Cialis can make some people more likely to have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or other urinary symptoms, such as difficulty starting and maintaining urination, urinary frequency, and urgency.
The BPH symptom complex is caused by an enlarged prostate that makes it harder for the urethra (urinary tract) to pass. BPH can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary frequency, and urgency, especially if symptoms have not improved within several months of starting treatment.
Cialis can make BPH more likely to occur if it is taken before sex, during sex, or in combination with other medications. Cialis can also cause side effects such as headaches, dizziness, low blood pressure, and changes in the color of urine.
If you take Cialis and have BPH, you should be able to have an enlarged prostate in the normal range.
You should not take Cialis with nitrates or recreational drugs such as “poppers.
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.
