Concurrent use of organic nitrates, nitrates and nitric oxide donors. Men with cardiac disease for whom sexual activity is inadvisable. Recent MI (within 90 days) or stroke (within last 6 mth), hypotension (<90/50 mm Hg), unstable angina, heart failure, uncontrolled arrhythmias or hypertension.
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor.
Use caution in patients with anatomic deformation of penis, cardiovascular disease, left ventricular outflow obstruction, myocardial infarction in preceding 90 days, unstable angina, angina occurring during sexual intercourse, NYHA class 2 or greater heart failure in preceding 6 months, uncontrolled arrhythmias, hypotension, uncontrolled hypertension, cerebrovascular accident in preceding 6 months, bleeding disorders, active peptic ulcer disease, liver disease, renal impairment, conditions predisposing to priapism, concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors Hepatic or renal impairment; CV diseases; anatomical penile deformation; predisposition to priapism; child <18 yr. Discontinue and seek medical advice if there is sudden vision loss or decreased vision in one or both eyes or tinnitus, dizziness or sudden loss or decrease in hearing, while taking Tadalafil.

Concurrent use increased risk of hypotension with beta-blockers; increased risk of priapism with other drugs for erectile dysfunction, e.g. alprostadil; increased heart rate with theophylline; decreased tadalafil serum concentration with CYP 3A4 inducers e.g. rifampicin, efavirenz, carbamazepine, nevirapine, barbiturates, phenobarbital, phenytoin, ribabutin; increased tadalafil serum concentration with CYP3A4 inhibitors e.g. azole antifungals, protease inhibitors, cimetidine, macrolides. Potentially Fatal: Enhanced hypotensive effect with nitrates and nicorandil.
