Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Cialis dosage. The typical starting dose is 10mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual needs. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose of 20mg in a 24-hour period.
Cialis interacts with certain medications. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements. This includes nitrates (used to treat chest pain), alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure), and certain antifungals. Concurrent use can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Cialis is contraindicated for individuals with certain health conditions. You should not use Cialis if you have a history of heart problems, uncontrolled high or low blood pressure, stroke, liver or kidney disease, or certain eye conditions like retinitis pigmentosa. Also avoid Cialis if you have a known allergy to tadalafil or any of its components.
| Nitrates | Severe hypotension | Avoid concurrent use. |
| Alpha-blockers | Low blood pressure | Doctor supervision required. |
| Ketoconazole/Itraconazole | Increased Cialis levels | Dosage adjustment may be necessary. |
If you experience side effects such as prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss, seek immediate medical attention. These are serious side effects that require prompt medical care.
