Both generic and brand-name Cialis share a similar profile of potential side effects. These commonly include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. The frequency and severity might vary slightly between individuals and formulations.
Generic Cialis, due to variations in inactive ingredients, might cause a slightly different incidence rate of these common side effects. For example, some individuals report a higher frequency of headache with a specific generic formulation. However, these differences are usually minor.
Less common but potentially more serious side effects, such as changes in vision (blurred vision, blue-tinged vision), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart-related problems, can occur with both versions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting either brand-name or generic Cialis. They can assess your individual risk factors and provide tailored advice.
Remember, individual reactions to medication are unique. While the side effect profiles are largely similar, your personal experience might vary. Report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider.
