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.

The Florida attorney general’s office and state attorneys general sued after a state judge ruled that Cialis, the generic version of the drug, may not be available to purchase. (Ansari)
The lawsuit says the state’s Health and Human Services Agency, the state’s own state agency, granted a temporary restraining order to Cialis’ sales representatives for illegal marketing of the drug.
“Cialis is a prescription drug, and the federal Food and Drug Administration has determined that it has the potential to harm patients and other health care professionals. The FDA has ordered the FDA to stop sales of Cialis,” said the lawsuit, filed in U. S. District Court in Florida.
The drug is prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Cialis is the generic name of the drug.
The drug contains tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, and it is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Cialis works by relaxing the muscles of the penis and allowing for increased blood flow to the area, causing an erection.
“Cialis is the brand name for the generic version of Tadalafil, the generic equivalent of Cialis. The FDA has determined that Cialis does not have the potential to harm patients and other health care professionals,” said the lawsuit. “The FDA has requested the generic drug from the United States and requested the FDA to stop the sales of Cialis from being available to patients.”
“The federal agency has requested the FDA to stop the sale of Cialis in the United States,” the lawsuit states. “The FDA has ordered the FDA to stop the sale of Cialis in the United States.”
In September 2011, the FDA said the drug’s marketing efforts were illegal and that the drug was in violation of the law. It was alleged that the FDA’s investigation found that the drug was marketed to treat erectile dysfunction.
Cialis is the generic version of Viagra, which is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. In 2010, the U. Food and Drug Administration approved the drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.
“Although the FDA has approved Cialis for erectile dysfunction treatment, it has not approved the drug’s use for any other indication,” said the lawsuit.
Cialis is sold in several generic forms, including:
“The FDA has instructed the FDA to withdraw the generic Cialis, and the FDA is also requiring Cialis to be available in the U. to treat erectile dysfunction,” said the lawsuit.
The FDA and state attorneys general also said that the lawsuit’s allegations that Cialis has the potential to harm patients and other health care professionals have not been substantiated. The FDA will take “an important step” to investigate the lawsuit, said the attorney general’s office.
“If it were to go to court, we would be very interested in pursuing the case in a court of law,” said the attorney general’s office.
In October 2012, the FDA issued a to the states of Florida and Georgia. The agency also issued a request to the states to allow Cialis to be marketed as a generic version of Cialis. The FDA said the drug could be sold in generic form.
In December 2013, the state’s attorney general’s office released a statement saying that the state of Florida is aware of the state’s request and will seek to have Cialis available to the state.
“The state of Florida is aware that a generic version of Cialis may not be available. The state has also requested the state to submit a case management letter,” the statement said. “All states in the U. are currently in violation of the law and this lawsuit is being investigated as part of the federal investigation.”
The lawsuit is seeking a temporary restraining order from the state of Florida and federal attorneys general, which they said is being investigated.Cialis has been shown to cause some mild side effects.
