Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) are two well-known medications used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). They both increase blood flow — but through slightly different durations and onset times.
So a common question arises:
Can you take Cialis and Levitra together?
The short answer: no — and here’s why.
💊 What Are Cialis and Levitra?
- Cialis: Works for up to 36 hours, slower onset, available in daily low doses
- Levitra: Lasts 4–6 hours, faster onset, used as needed
⚠️ Why Taking Them Together Is Not Safe
Combining two PDE5 inhibitors increases risk of:
- Low blood pressure
- Dizziness or fainting
- Headaches
- Vision changes
- Priapism (painful prolonged erection)
They act on the same biological pathway, so taking both doesn’t double the benefit — it amplifies the strain on your heart and vessels.
🧠 Why Someone Might Try It
Some men feel desperate when one medication doesn’t work and try combining drugs. But this isn’t a safe or effective strategy.
✅ What to Do Instead
- Ask your doctor about switching medications
- Review your dose and timing
- Work on lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, or alcohol use
- Check for underlying conditions like hormone imbalance
🧾 Final Thought
Can you take Cialis and Levitra together? Technically yes — but medically, no. The combo raises your risk without improving results.
Stick with one medication, follow dosing guidelines, and talk to your doctor about better solutions.
