Cialis, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Prolonged erection (priapism) is another serious side effect requiring immediate medical help. This condition can damage penile tissue.
Cialis interacts with certain medications. Nitrates, commonly used to treat chest pain, are a significant concern. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-blockers, often prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, can also interact negatively with Cialis, potentially leading to dizziness or fainting.
Discuss all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, with your doctor before starting Cialis. This includes herbal remedies.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Cialis side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake while using Cialis.
Grapefruit juice can affect Cialis metabolism, potentially increasing its concentration in your blood. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and usage. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
