Potential Side Effects and Precautions

Consult your doctor before using Cialis, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke.

Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.

Less common but more serious side effects can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss, prolonged erection (priapism), or chest pain.

Cialis can interact with other medications, including nitrates. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
