Tadalafil, while generally safe, can cause side effects. The most common include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
Headache and Flushing
Headaches are frequently reported, often mild and resolving without intervention. Flushing, a feeling of warmth or redness in the face, neck, and chest, is also common. Staying hydrated can sometimes help manage these effects. If headaches become severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Other Side Effects and Considerations
Less common side effects include back pain, muscle aches, and dizziness. Serious, though rare, side effects involve sudden vision loss or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Men with heart conditions should discuss Tadalafil use with their physician before starting treatment. Interactions with certain medications, like nitrates, are contraindicated. Always inform your doctor about all medications and health conditions before taking Tadalafil.
Rare but Serious Risks
Priapism, a prolonged and painful erection lasting more than four hours, is a rare but serious risk requiring immediate medical attention. This condition needs prompt treatment to prevent permanent damage. Likewise, sudden decreases in vision or hearing warrant immediate medical evaluation. Be aware of these potential issues and seek help when necessary.
