Consult your doctor before starting Cialis, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of strokes. This medication can lower your blood pressure, potentially causing dizziness or fainting.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These usually are mild and temporary. However, report any persistent or worsening symptoms to your physician immediately.
Serious Side Effects
Rarely, Cialis can cause more serious side effects like prolonged erection (priapism), requiring immediate medical attention. Sudden vision loss or hearing loss also demand prompt medical help. Discuss potential drug interactions with your doctor, as Cialis can interact with nitrates and other medications.
Precautions
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Cialis, as this can intensify side effects. Cialis is not suitable for everyone; your doctor will assess your suitability. Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions meticulously. Inform your doctor about all your current medications and health conditions for a safe and effective treatment plan.
