Avatar n tn Blood levels of cyclosporine are increased if taken with grapefruit juice. A plausible mechanism involves the combined inhibition of enteric CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, which potentially leads to serious adverse events (e.g., nephrotoxicity).Blood levels of tacrolimus (Prograf) can also be equally affected for the same reason as with cyclosporine.
Avatar f tn Hey Jean. I just joined myself but have been HCV for (by my estimate 21 years now). I won't say it can't be incredibly hard. There's the social stigma, coming to terms with the fact you have it and then the telling of family and friends, not to mention dating and that's just the emotional side. A good place to start is educating yourself about transmission, that way you can feel confident in yourself that you can protect those you love and encounter.
Avatar f tn Julie, if you’re going to drink a lot of grapefruit juice and include it with other meds, be sure to discuss it with the doctor.
Avatar f tn Zoloft is one of the drugs that can cause big danger to the liver if used with grapefruit. There are others too but this one is especially common to people on interferon/riba. I sure don't want anyone to make this mistake. There are anti depressants that are safe with grapefruit-Celexa is one of them. I called a pharmacist to confirm this and they said it was a big no-no and quite dangerous even if you don't have liver problems.
Avatar n tn There are studies that show the long term efficacy of these drugs. I'm not an expert, but I don't think they just stop working like that. I've been using Cialis for over a year with excellent results.
Avatar n tn My understanding is that grapefruit can interact and increase the effect of Zoloft and Prozac but not paxil. The protein involved with Paxil is not affected by grapefruit. You can ask your local pharmacist about this as well.
1396517 tn?1500880649 I'm type 2 diabetic and overweight and have not had any erection problems until this year when during foreplay I'd be as hard as a rock, but go soft just before insertion... my wife has been understanding, but it has been frustrating. My Doctor said that erection problems are more common than people think - especially for people over 40 and she could prescribe a generic 'Cialis' if need be but I was too embarrassed to take up the offer.
Avatar m tn Maybe it's because you worry to much, it really affects your performance. Have you tried to buy generic viagra?
Avatar n tn My question is if my symptoms and diagnosis of fluid in the inner ear are consistent with known cases of sudden hearing loss possibly associated with Cialis and similar medicines that have led to the warnings. Should I stop taking the Cialis? And, if so, should I also avoid other similar drugs with similar warnings?
Avatar f tn Great advice, thanks! Sometimes I watch too much porn and so maybe I get a bit desensitized to sex so when the real thing happens, it's not as novel. I'm sure part of it is physical, due to the lexapro & metoprolol I take. But my doc shared with me himself that he's taken Cialis and it worked for him well. He also said that it stays in the system for a fairly long time so that's definitely good to know.
Avatar m tn ve had ED for 10 years and taking Cialis. I am curious what your doctor told you 10 years ago and when he prescribed Cialis. 21 was a young age to have ED. I wonder if the body gets used to the drugs and eventually they are not so effective, and then they should not be taken on a daily basis but used only when necessary. Your diabetes is a factor, also. I would advise you to work with a urologist, and if you have, go to another as a second opinion.
Avatar f tn Is grapefruit OK to eat for breakfast everyday? I tried to Google but no good answers. I know it is acidic, but I don't think harmful. Just want to make sure.
Avatar n tn I just looked at several websites about this and only found 2 answers. One, there IS a cialis made for women. Two, women should not take cialis for men. No reason was given. Sorry that's all I have for you.
Avatar n tn I guess that someone who takes Cialis could use it either with a partner or alone, though the television commercials for it always show some guy looking happily at a partner.
Avatar m tn ve been taking Cialis for over a year with excellent results and no relevant side effects. I also tried Levitra and it worked fine but Cialis is my favorite. Everyone is different, though: some men prefer Levitra, others prefer Cialis or Viagra.
Avatar n tn I have been using Cialis 10mg every other day for almost 1 year over the past 3-6 months I have been having trouble reaching a climax. After checking up on my other medications (Nexium and Benazepril 5mg) I have come to a conculsion that the problem is being caused by Cialis. Can you give me any supporting information?
Avatar m tn This, initially the drug does not completely metabolize and has an extended half-life. This why it is dangerous to take grapefruit juice with certain medications. Follow me on this. You take a substance that reduces the production of these enzymes (say grapefruit juice) and for the first four hours the drug does not fully metabolize. After six hours the grapefruit juice wears off, the liver again starts producing these enzymes, and you take a second dose of the medication.
Avatar m tn When we are turned on and I start to stimulate her with my fingers or tongue, my erection disappears even if I took Cialis. When I’m not on Cialis I can‘t maitain an erection regarding any sexual activities with my GF sometimes I can but it is not very strong. I can maintain strong lasting erection when I’m alone - watching porn, I could do that few times a day and I have never had problem with this.
Avatar m tn I would say ask your doctor about side effects. There is Viagra, Cialis, Enzyte, and much more. You doctor will know what medicines you can't handle. Do NOT use any Chinese herbs. They can kill you or cause even more problems.
Avatar m tn hello Doctor i going to the rapid blood test before on one day I took 2 capsules (cialis and i everyday taking oil fish omega3) can cialis or oil fish omega3 affect an hiv test rapid reliability or any test for hiv ?
Avatar f tn I have some erectile dysfunction due to having to be on beta blockers. I've been prescribed Cialis 5mg once a day, but haven't gotten up the courage to take one yet. Kind of afraid to be honest. I know many many take it with no problem, but I have a tendancy to feel my heart race more than usual during sex and at random times, which is why I take the beta blockers, but I'm not having a normal sex life. I know my doctor knows what's best.
