Tadact 20 contains the active ingredient tadalafil, which is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Like any medication, Tadact 20 can potentially interact with other medications. It is important to inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. They can assess the potential interactions and provide guidance on the safe and effective use of Tadact 20.
Here are some examples of medications that may interact with Tadact 20:
Nitrates: Taking Tadact 20 with nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, is contraindicated. The combination can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Nitrates are commonly used for the treatment of angina (chest pain) and certain heart conditions.
Alpha-blockers: Alpha-blockers, used to treat high blood pressure and certain prostate conditions, can interact with Tadact 20 and cause low blood pressure. If you are taking an alpha-blocker, your healthcare professional may need to adjust the dosage of Tadact 20 or the alpha-blocker to minimize the risk of low blood pressure.
Antihypertensive medications: Tadact 20 can enhance the hypotensive effects (blood pressure-lowering effects) of antihypertensive medications. It is important to monitor blood pressure closely if you are taking both Tadact 20 and antihypertensive medications.
Other PDE5 inhibitors: Concurrent use of multiple PDE5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil (Viagra) or vardenafil (Levitra), with Tadact 20 should be avoided as it can increase the risk of side effects and complications.
