Never combine nitroglycerin and Cialis without explicit physician approval. This combination significantly increases the risk of dangerously low blood pressure.
If you’re prescribed both medications, discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor. They might adjust dosages or suggest different medications.
- For erectile dysfunction: Alternatives to Cialis include Tadalafil (generic Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), Avanafil (Stendra), and even non-pharmaceutical approaches like lifestyle changes (diet, exercise) or counseling. For angina: Besides nitroglycerin, other medications manage angina. These include beta-blockers (e. g., metoprolol), calcium channel blockers (e. g., amlodipine), and nitrates (different formulations of nitroglycerin).
Your doctor will consider your overall health and medical history to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan. Open communication is key!
Clearly explain all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Report any symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or fainting immediately. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Remember, your health is paramount. Consult your physician or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns about medication interactions or alternative therapies.
