Brief Answer:
It is only a relative contraindication------------

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to the forum.
The most important contraindication for Cialis is CONCOMITANT NITRATES - that is usually given for a heart problem. When taken together, dangerously low blood pressure is possible.
Blood thinner is not an absolute contra-indication and if really necessary, these and Cialis can be taken together under medical supervision.
