Cialis, like all medications, carries potential side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These typically are mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, side effects include changes in vision, such as blurred vision or sudden vision loss, and hearing problems, including ringing in the ears or sudden hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Prolonged erection (priapism) is a serious side effect requiring immediate medical help. This condition can damage the penis if not treated.
Cialis can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat heart conditions. This combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before starting Cialis.
Men with pre-existing heart conditions, low blood pressure, or stroke history should discuss the risks with their doctor before using Cialis. Similarly, individuals with liver or kidney problems should exercise caution and consult their physician.
If you experience any concerning side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. They can provide personalized advice and assess the situation.
