Cialis, while effective for many, carries potential risks. Understanding these is key to safe use.
Common side effects often include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
- Headache: Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Flushing: Wear light clothing and stay hydrated. Nasal Congestion: Use saline nasal spray or consider a humidifier. Indigestion: Take Cialis with food to minimize stomach upset.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects necessitate immediate medical attention. These include:
- Prolonged erection (priapism): This painful condition requires prompt medical care. Sudden vision loss: Stop taking Cialis and see a doctor immediately. This can indicate a serious condition. Sudden hearing loss: Seek immediate medical advice if this occurs. Heart attack or stroke symptoms: Chest pain, shortness of breath, and sudden numbness are serious and demand emergency treatment.
Certain pre-existing conditions increase the risk of side effects. Individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems should discuss Cialis use with their doctor. Interactions with other medications are also possible, so provide a complete list of your current medications to your physician.
Always consult your doctor: Before starting any medication, especially Cialis, discuss your health history and any potential risks. Follow prescribed dosage: Never exceed the recommended dosage. Report side effects: Inform your doctor about any side effects, both minor and major.
