Always discuss your health history with your doctor before taking Cialis, especially if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, or low blood pressure. This allows them to assess potential risks and interactions with other medications you might be taking, such as nitrates. Your doctor can perform a physical exam and order blood tests to ensure Cialis is safe for you.
Understanding Potential Side Effects
Openly discuss potential side effects with your physician. While common side effects are usually mild (headache, muscle aches), rare but serious side effects like prolonged erection (priapism) require immediate medical attention. Your doctor can explain the likelihood of these effects and provide guidance on what to do should they occur.
Finding the Right Dosage
Your doctor will determine the appropriate Cialis dosage based on your individual needs and health condition. Don’t self-prescribe; incorrect dosage can lead to ineffective treatment or increased risk of side effects. A proper consultation ensures you receive a personalized prescription.
Addressing Underlying Health Issues
Erectile dysfunction often indicates underlying health problems. A doctor’s consultation provides an opportunity to address potential causes like diabetes, high cholesterol, or stress. Treating these issues alongside using Cialis may lead to better long-term results.
