WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Potential for Drug Interactions When Taking Cialis for Once Daily Use

Physicians should be aware that Cialis for once daily use provides continuous plasma tadalafil levels and should consider this when evaluating the potential for interactions with medications (e.g., nitrates, alpha-blockers, anti-hypertensives and potent inhibitors of CYP3A4) and with substantial consumption of alcohol...

Renal Insufficiency: Cialis for Once Daily Use

Due to increased tadalafil exposure (AUC), limited clinical experience, and the lack of ability to influence clearance by dialysis, Cialis for once daily use is not recommended in patients with severe renal insufficiency. No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild or moderate renal insufficiency [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

Hepatic Impairment: Cialis for Once Daily Use

Cialis for once daily use has not been extensively evaluated in patients with mild or moderate hepatic insufficiency. Therefore, caution is advised if Cialis for once daily use is prescribed to these patients. Because of insufficient information in patients with severe hepatic impairment, use of Cialis in this group is not recommended [see Use In Specific Populations (8.6)].
