Consult your doctor before using Cialis, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke. This ensures safe usage.
Common Side Effects
Headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion are common. These are usually mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, contact your physician immediately.
Less Common, But Serious, Side Effects
Rarely, Cialis can cause more serious side effects, including vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Medication Interactions
Cialis interacts with certain medications, such as nitrates (used to treat angina). Mixing them can dangerously lower blood pressure. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all medications you are currently taking.
Understanding Your Risks
| Headache | Common | Usually resolves on its own; consider over-the-counter pain relief if needed. |
| Back Pain | Common | Rest and hydration may help. Consult your doctor if severe. |
| Muscle Aches | Common | Similar to back pain, rest and hydration are helpful. |
| Vision Changes | Rare | Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Hearing Loss | Rare | Seek immediate medical attention. |
Alcohol and Cialis
Combining Cialis with alcohol can increase the risk of side effects. Limit your alcohol intake while using Cialis.
Dosage and Frequency
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and frequency carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
