It is possible that the cialis would increase the blood pressure lowering effect of coreg and prinivil according to at least 2 drug interaction checkers but the effect may not be significant.

You may need to consider a home blood pressure monitor if you do not already have one , so that you can keep an eye on your blood pressure.

A significant decrease may not occur and if there is a decline then the use of a small amount of salt and fluids may help to increase it.

Summary: there may be blood pressure reduction but the exact amount would not be known

(3)salt and fluids help to increase blood pressure

If you remain concerned, you should discuss with your doctor
