Cialis, like all medications, carries potential risks. Understanding these risks allows you to make informed decisions about your health. 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, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these. Prolonged erections can cause permanent damage.
Cialis can interact with certain medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. Combining these can lead to dangerously low blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you are taking.
Certain pre-existing conditions, such as heart problems, stroke history, or low blood pressure, can increase the risk of complications. Open communication with your doctor is key to minimizing these risks. They can assess your suitability for Cialis.
Muscle aches, back pain, and dizziness are also possible side effects. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, contact your doctor. They can adjust your dosage or suggest alternative treatments.
