What interactions should I be aware of when taking Modula 5 Mg?
Modula 5 mg, which contains Tadalafil, can interact with several types of medications and substances. Here are key interactions to be aware of:
Nitrates: Used for angina (chest pain), such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate. Combining these with Tadalafil can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-Blockers: Medications for high blood pressure or prostate conditions, such as doxazosin, prazosin, and terazosin, can also cause a significant drop in blood pressure when used with Tadalafil.
Antihypertensives: Other medications for high blood pressure may interact with Modula 5mg, potentially causing additive effects that could lower blood pressure.
Antifungal Medications: Drugs like ketoconazole and itraconazole can increase Tadalafil levels in the blood, leading to a higher risk of side effects.
Antibiotics: Certain antibiotics, such as erythromycin, can also increase Tadalafil levels.
HIV Protease Inhibitors: Medications like ritonavir and saquinavir can raise Tadalafil levels, increasing the risk of adverse effects.
Other Erectile Dysfunction Medications: Combining Tadalafil with other ED treatments (e.g., Sildenafil or Vardenafil) is generally not recommended due to increased risk of side effects.
Certain Medications for Seizures: Drugs like carbamazepine can reduce the effectiveness of Tadalafil by affecting its metabolism.
Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase Tadalafil levels in the blood, potentially leading to a higher risk of side effects.
Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking to manage potential interactions effectively.
