Cialis, like all medications, carries potential side effects. Headache, facial flushing, and nasal congestion are common, usually mild and temporary. These typically resolve without intervention.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, changes in color perception), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Cialis can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Men with certain pre-existing conditions, such as heart disease, low blood pressure, or stroke history, should discuss the risks and benefits of Cialis with their doctor before use. Cialis may not be suitable for everyone.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Cialis’ side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is advised. Grapefruit juice can also affect Cialis’ metabolism; avoid excessive consumption.
