Never combine Cialis and Viagra without explicit medical guidance. Taking both simultaneously significantly increases your risk of experiencing adverse effects. This is because both medications lower blood pressure, potentially leading to dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension), dizziness, fainting, and even heart problems. The risk is amplified if you have pre-existing heart conditions or high blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Understanding Specific Side Effects
Common side effects from either drug alone–headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion–can become more intense when taken together. More serious side effects like prolonged erection (priapism), vision changes (including blurred vision or temporary blindness), and hearing loss become more likely. These conditions require immediate medical attention. The combined effect on blood pressure could also exacerbate existing conditions like angina (chest pain).
Your doctor can help determine if using either medication alone is suitable for your needs and health status. They can assess your risk factors and guide you toward safe and effective treatment options. Remember, responsible medication use is paramount to your health and well-being.
