Cialis Canada

To answer this question you should first of all talk to your doctor about alcohol consumption and Cialis. Your doctor will determine your current state of health and give the best decision for your situation.

The best decision about your intake of alcohol while on this drug can make only your doctor because only he can estimate all the risks to your health that this combination may cause.  The results of the studies involving men taking alcohol with Cialis show that those who consumed no or small amount of alcohol had practically no risk for health. Those who took large amounts of alcohol while using Cialis had more severe and frequent side effects, including:

• Dizziness;
• A rapid heart rate (tachycardia) or irregular heart rate;
• Low blood pressure;
• Fainting;
• General ill feeling.

Alcohol and Cialis have the similar effect on blood vessels, causing them to dilate. The dilation of blood vessels can cause different dangerous conditions for your health. So before taking this drug with alcohol, consult your doctor to know  if you can drink alcohol and what amount of alcohol you can drink not to make harm for yourself.

The Cialis postmarketing reports of consumers contain the most common side effects which were chosen due to their seriousness, frequency, lack of clear alternative causation. The volunteers taking part in postmarketing experience were of different age and can be grouped as almost healthy and having certain medical health conditions. The postmarketing reports on side effects are not the same as reported from the clinical trials. Postmarketing experience does not allow reliably estimating the frequency of side effects and relating them to the drug consuming.

Cialis in different studies showed no potentially dangerous effects on blood pressure and on heart rate in healthy patients. Still when administered with nitrate drugs which are contradictory to Cialis, tadalafil has shown the ability to enlarge hypotensive effect of nitrates.

The assessment of the degree of interaction between Cialis and nitroglycerin was made in double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 150 patients including patients with certain health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. The participants were taking 20mg of Cialis  and 0.4mg of sublingual nitroglycerin for a week. The interaction of the drugs was at each timepoint up to 24 hours, at 48 hours there were no interactions observed. Still Cialis and nitrate drugs affect each other and between taking nitrate and tadalafil 48 hours should pass to diminish life- threatening situation.
