Always discuss Cialis with your doctor before use. This allows them to assess your health and potential risks. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
Serious Side Effects
Less common, but serious, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart attack or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these. Priapism requires immediate treatment to prevent permanent damage.
Medication Interactions
Cialis interacts with several medications, including nitrates (used for chest pain). Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you’re taking. This includes prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Alcohol and Cialis
Excessive alcohol consumption can worsen side effects. Moderate your alcohol intake when taking Cialis.
Grapefruit Juice
Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis. It can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially leading to increased side effects.
