Consult your doctor before using Cialis. He or she can assess your health and determine if Cialis is right for you.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
- Headache: Occurs in a significant portion of users. Over-the-counter pain relievers often provide relief. Flushing: A reddening of the skin, typically on the face, neck, and chest. Nasal Congestion: Stuffiness or runny nose. Indigestion: Mild stomach upset.
Less common, but more serious, side effects require immediate medical attention. These include:
- Sudden vision loss: Seek immediate medical help if you experience this. Hearing loss: Report any hearing changes to your doctor promptly. Prolonged erection (priapism): A painful erection lasting more than four hours requires immediate medical attention. Chest pain: Stop using Cialis and seek immediate medical care.
Certain pre-existing conditions increase the risk of side effects. These include heart disease, liver or kidney problems, and a history of stroke.
Heart Disease: Cialis can lower blood pressure, potentially exacerbating heart problems. Liver or Kidney Problems: These organs help process Cialis; impaired function may lead to higher drug levels and increased side effects. Stroke History: Increased risk of adverse reactions.
Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Never exceed the recommended dosage.
