Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Take Cialis While Taking Losartan And Metropolol?
Is it safe to occasionally 1-2 times monthly take Cialis while taking daily regiment of 50mg Losartan 1x daily with 50mg Metropolol 2x daily? This medication is being taken for controlling a High blood pressure in conjunction with irregular heart beats in 50 yr male.
I understand your concern and would explain that cialis interacts with both metoporolol and losartan by pharmacological synergism, leading to an increase of their effect on lowering blood pressure.
This means that you may be at risk of low blood pressure when taking Cialis while on this antihypertensive therapy.
Although, Cialis intake is not contraindicated in this case. It should be used with caution.
I recommend to closely monitor your blood pressure during taking Cialis. If your blood pressure doesn't decrease in a noticeable way, there is nothing to worry about it.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes!
Dr. Iliri
