Possible increase of adverse effects.
Use as needed: start at 10 mg every two days and if needed increase to 20 mg, maximum of 3 times a week.
If the 10 mg dose is not tolerated, tadalafil treatment should be stopped.

Ritonavir 200 mg BID (a powerful inhibitor of CYP 3A4) increases the AUC of tadalafil 124%.
Caution: Liver impairment and kidney failure (Clcr 31-50 ml/min: increases twice AUC)and age > 65 years old can increase the concentration of tadalafil. See tadalafil (Adcirca).
