Are there any known drug interactions with Cenforce 120?
Yes, Cenforce 120 mg (which contains sildenafil, the active ingredient) can interact with certain drugs. Here are some known interactions:
Nitrates: The most significant interaction is with nitrates, which are commonly used to treat chest pain (angina). When taken together with sildenafil, it can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, which can be dangerous. Examples of nitrates include nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate, and isosorbide dinitrate.
Alpha-blockers: Medications used to treat high blood pressure or prostate issues, such as doxazosin or tamsulosin, can cause a drop in blood pressure when taken with sildenafil. This combination may lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
Antihypertensive Drugs: Other blood pressure medications, including ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics, can also increase the blood pressure-lowering effects of sildenafil.
Ritonavir and other HIV medications: Protease inhibitors like ritonavir may increase the levels of sildenafil in the blood, increasing the risk of side effects such as headaches, dizziness, or priapism (a prolonged erection).
Erythromycin and other antibiotics: Certain antibiotics, like erythromycin, can increase sildenafil's concentration in the blood, increasing the risk of side effects.
Antifungal medications: Drugs like ketoconazole and itraconazole can also increase sildenafil levels in the blood, enhancing the risk of side effects.
Grapefruit: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interfere with the enzymes that metabolize sildenafil, potentially increasing the concentration of the drug in the bloodstream.
Other PDE5 inhibitors: Avoid taking other medications like tadalafil (Cialis) or vardenafil (Levitra) with sildenafil, as they are also PDE5 inhibitors and could increase the risk of side effects.  |
