Cialis, while generally safe and effective, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These typically are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Cialis interacts with several medications. It’s crucial to inform your doctor about all medications you take, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Particular attention should be paid to nitrates, as combining them with Cialis can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Grapefruit juice can also interact with Cialis, potentially increasing its concentration in the body. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis.
