Can You Combine Tadalafil (Cialis) with TRT or Oral Minoxidil? 


A Men’s Health Guide from Be Well Berlin (Los Angeles & Alaska)
Many men exploring testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) wonder whether adding tadalafil (Cialis) can boost results—or if combining it with other treatments like oral minoxidil could pose risks.
At Be Well Berlin, serving Los Angeles, West Hollywood, and Alaska, we frequently counsel patients on safe, evidence-based combination therapies for low testosterone, erectile dysfunction (ED), and hair loss. Below we review what clinical studies show about combining tadalafil and TRT, and whether tadalafil and oral minoxidil can be used together safely.
 

Understanding Tadalafil and Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) 

What Is Tadalafil (Cialis)? 

Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that relaxes vascular smooth muscle, improving blood flow. 
  • FDA-approved for erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) 
  • Duration: effects may last up to 36 hours 
  • Common benefits: stronger erections, urinary flow improvement, and greater sexual confidence
     

What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)? 

TRT restores hormone levels in men with clinically low testosterone. 
  • Routes: injections, gels, patches, or pellets 
  • Benefits: improved energy, libido, mood, muscle mass, and cognition 
  • Monitoring: periodic labs for testosterone, hematocrit, lipids, and PSA
     

Can You Combine Tadalafil and TRT? 

Yes! A meta-analysis found that adding testosterone therapy to PDE5 inhibitor treatment was both effective and safe

Why the Combination Works 

  • TRT restores hormonal balance and nitric-oxide signaling. 
  • Tadalafil enhances smooth-muscle relaxation and penile perfusion. 
Together, they address both hormonal and vascular causes of ED. Most men tolerate the combination well when monitored for blood pressure, hematocrit, and cardiovascular risk.
 

Is Tadalafil Safe with Oral Minoxidil? 

In many cases, yes—with proper supervision.
Oral minoxidil, a systemic vasodilator originally used for hypertension, is now prescribed off-label for androgenetic alopecia. Because tadalafil and minoxidil can each modestly lower blood pressure, combining them calls for low starting doses and regular BP checks. 

Evidence on Oral Minoxidil Safety

When paired with tadalafil, additive BP effects are generally mild, provided blood pressure is stable and monitored.
 

Monitoring Blood Pressure When Combining Vasodilators  

Reviews show PDE5 inhibitors produce only small, clinically insignificant BP reductions in most users (Kloner RA et al., Am J Cardiol 2003; Kloner RA & Jarow JP, Circulation 2004).

Safety checklist 

  • Begin with low doses of both drugs. 
  • Monitor BP at baseline and after titration. 
  • Report dizziness, syncope, palpitations, or edema promptly. 
  • Avoid nitrates or α-blockers, which can cause marked hypotension. 
 

Who Should Avoid These Combinations? 

  • Uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension 
  • Severe cardiovascular disease or recent MI / stroke 
  • Concurrent nitrate or α-blocker therapy 
  • Significant renal or hepatic impairment without clearance
     
Always review your full medication list with your clinician before combining therapies.
 

Benefits of Combining Treatments

 

1. TRT + Tadalafil 

  • TRT revives libido and energy. 
  • Tadalafil restores erectile rigidity.
    ➡ Combined therapy can address desire + performance, yielding higher satisfaction. 

2. Tadalafil + Oral Minoxidil  

  • Targets sexual function and hair restoration simultaneously. 
  • Low-dose regimens minimize side-effects. 
  • Boosts confidence and overall wellbeing.

Usually yes, when initiated at low doses and clinically monitored. Report dizziness or fatigue.
