When taking Cenforce 100 mg (sildenafil citrate), it's important to avoid certain medications that can interact adversely with it. Here are some key medications that should not be taken with Cenforce 100 mg:
Nitrate medications: These include nitroglycerin and other drugs commonly used to treat chest pain (angina). Combining nitrate medications with Cenforce 100 Mg can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack.
Alpha-blockers: Drugs like doxazosin, terazosin, or tamsulosin used to treat high blood pressure or prostate conditions can also interact with sildenafil, causing a drop in blood pressure. If you are on alpha-blockers, your doctor may adjust your dosage carefully.
Other PDE5 inhibitors: Taking multiple PDE5 inhibitors (such as sildenafil with another ED medication like tadalafil or vardenafil) concurrently can increase the risk of side effects and complications.
Antibiotics and antifungal medications: Certain antibiotics (like erythromycin) and antifungal medications (like ketoconazole) can increase sildenafil levels in the blood, potentially leading to more pronounced side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your sildenafil dosage if you are taking these medications.
HIV protease inhibitors: Medications used to treat HIV/AIDS, such as ritonavir, can also increase sildenafil levels in the blood, increasing the risk of side effects.
Always inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements, before starting sildenafil (Cenforce 100 mg) to avoid potentially harmful interactions.
