Simultaneous use of Valsartan and Cialis requires careful monitoring. Consult your doctor before combining these medications. This is especially crucial due to potential cardiovascular effects.
Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), lowers blood pressure. Cialis, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, relaxes blood vessels. This combined effect can significantly reduce blood pressure, potentially leading to dizziness or fainting, particularly in individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.
Always inform your physician about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. This allows your doctor to assess potential drug interactions and adjust dosages accordingly. Regular blood pressure checks are recommended when using both Valsartan and Cialis.
Specific considerations include: Patients with heart conditions, liver problems, or those over 65 should exercise heightened caution. Your doctor may recommend alternative treatments or closer monitoring to minimize risks. Don’t hesitate to discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider immediately.
