Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting Cialis. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Cialis interacts with certain medications. Nitrates are a particularly dangerous combination, potentially leading to dangerously low blood pressure. You should also inform your doctor about other medications you take, including those for high blood pressure, heart problems, or HIV/AIDS.
Grapefruit juice can also affect how Cialis works in your body; avoid consuming it while taking Cialis. Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects; moderate alcohol intake is advised.
