Start with your doctor’s recommendation. They’ll personalize your dosage based on your health and needs.
Cialis 5mg is typically taken as needed, about 30 minutes before sexual activity. However, some men find it beneficial to take it daily at a lower dose for consistent results. Discuss daily use with your physician.
- Dosage: Your doctor will determine the right dose for you. Don’t adjust your dosage without consulting them. Frequency: As-needed or daily, depending on your doctor’s advice.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, muscle aches, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
- Headache: Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Flushing: This usually subsides on its own. Nasal Congestion: Use saline nasal spray if bothersome. Muscle Aches: Light exercise and rest may help. Indigestion: Avoid large meals or fatty foods before taking Cialis.
Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), chest pain, or irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical assistance if any of these occur.
Vision Changes: Contact your doctor immediately if you experience sudden vision loss. Hearing Changes: Report any sudden hearing loss or ringing in your ears. Prolonged Erection: This requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications. Chest Pain/Irregular Heartbeat: Call emergency services if you experience these symptoms.
