Always talk to your doctor before starting Cialis. Some common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Heart Conditions
Cialis can lower blood pressure. If you have heart problems, including angina, you should discuss this with your doctor before taking Cialis. It’s also important to disclose any other health conditions you have.
Interactions with Other Medications
Cialis can interact with some medications, particularly nitrates used to treat angina. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking.
Dosage and Frequency
| Erectile Dysfunction | 10 mg | As needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity |

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health status. Strictly adhere to prescribed dosage instructions. Never exceed the recommended dose.
Alcohol Consumption
Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake while taking Cialis.
