Consult your doctor before using Cialis, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke. They can assess your suitability and discuss potential risks and benefits.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. However, seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, prolonged erection (priapism), or sudden vision loss.
