Apcalis precautions and possible side effects

Who should not take generic Apcalis?

If you are taking any form of organic nitrate or nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite. This is a group of medicines ('nitrates') used in the treatment of angina pectoris ('chest pain'). Apcalis has been shown to increase the effects of these drugs. If you are taking any form of nitrates or are unsure tell your doctor. If you have serious heart disease or have had a recent heart attack / stroke. If you have low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure. If you are (hypersensitive) allergic to tadalafil / any of the other ingredients of Apcalis.

If you have such an erection, which lasts continuously for more than 4 hours, you should contact a doctor immediately. In case of chest pain occurring during or after sexual activity you should NOT use nitrates but you should seek immediate medical assistance. If you notice any side effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please inform your doctor or pharmacist. Heart attack, stroke, and irregular heart beats have been reported rarely in men taking Apcalis.

The following medicines may increase the blood level of tadalafil, which could increase the risk of side effects:

The antifungal medicines ketoconazole and itraconazole.

The antibiotic medicines clarithromycin and erythromycin.

The HIV protease inhibitors ritonavir and saquinavir.

Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these as you may need a lower tadalafil dose. Grapefruit juice taken with tadalafil may also cause an increase in the blood level of tadalafil.
