Never crush Cialis. Crushing alters the drug’s carefully designed release profile. This leads to a rapid, unpredictable surge in tadalafil levels in your bloodstream.
This rapid absorption increases your risk of experiencing severe side effects. These include, but are not limited to, dangerously low blood pressure, heart problems, and vision changes. The intensity of these side effects can be significantly amplified compared to taking the tablet whole.
The uneven distribution of the medication when crushed also means you might not receive a consistent dose. Some areas may receive a higher concentration than others, leading to unpredictable effects.
Furthermore, crushing the tablet compromises the integrity of the coating designed to protect the medication from stomach acid and ensure proper absorption. This potentially reduces the effectiveness of the medication.
If you have difficulty swallowing pills, talk to your doctor. They can suggest alternative formulations of Cialis or other treatment options. Do not attempt to circumvent this by crushing the medication; it’s unsafe and may be ineffective.
