Always discuss Cialis use with your doctor before starting treatment. This ensures the medication is appropriate for your health condition and helps identify potential risks.
Common Side Effects
Headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion are common. These usually resolve on their own. If they persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately. Muscle aches and back pain are also possible.
Less Common but Serious Side Effects
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or prolonged painful erection (priapism). These are rare but serious side effects requiring prompt medical intervention. Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or dizziness also warrant immediate medical attention.
Interactions with Other Medications
Cialis interacts with certain medications, including nitrates (used for chest pain). Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking.
Alcohol Consumption
Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is generally acceptable, but discuss limits with your physician.
Safe Usage Guidelines
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can affect Cialis’s metabolism.
Monitoring Your Health
Regular check-ups with your doctor are important to monitor your health and adjust medication if necessary. Report any unusual symptoms or changes in your health status.
