[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2385790, member: 196898"] Been on it for 3 years now - no problems. It is one of those meds required to be stopped before having certain surgical procedures. I believe Cialis is also known by the tradename tadalafil a.k.a Viagra. Good switch IMO except that Viagra-type medications are normally not advised for diabetics with BP issues. Cialis is described as having the effect of reducing IR in diabetics, but tests have also shown no effect on HbA1c. I did find this mention against Tamsulosin "The Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb has received three reports of [B]tamsulosin[/B] associated with an [B]increase[/B] in [B]blood glucose[/B]. All patients were [B]diabetics[/B], and this association might be related to patients in whom insulin-dependent [B]glucose[/B] uptake is limited." Seems to be a rare side effect possibly linked to insulin users. [/QUOTE]
