Cialis, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, 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.
Before taking Cialis, discuss your medical history with your doctor. This includes any heart conditions, liver or kidney problems, or blood pressure issues. Cialis may interact with other medications, so provide your doctor with a complete list of all your current prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs.
Avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking Cialis, as it can increase the drug’s concentration in your blood and heighten the risk of side effects.
Alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is advised, or complete abstinence if advised by your doctor.
Cialis is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor will help determine if it’s the right medication for you based on your individual health needs.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use. Never exceed the recommended dose.
