Potential Side Effects and Drug Interactions

Cialis 5mg, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary. Less common, but potentially more serious, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing changes (ringing in the ears, sudden hearing loss), and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious side effects.

Certain medications can interact with Cialis. Grapefruit juice, for example, can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially intensifying side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis. Also, nitrates (used to treat chest pain) and alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure) should not be taken with Cialis due to a risk of dangerously low blood pressure. Discuss all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, with your doctor before starting Cialis.

Alcohol can increase the risk of side effects. Limit your alcohol consumption while using Cialis. Your doctor can provide personalized advice regarding alcohol intake and Cialis use.
