Before taking Cialis, discuss potential side effects with your doctor. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less common but more serious side effects can include vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism).
Important Note: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours or sudden vision or hearing changes.
Cialis can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. Never combine Cialis with nitrates. Inform your doctor of all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
Individuals with heart problems, low blood pressure, or stroke history should exercise caution and consult their physician before using Cialis. Similarly, those with liver or kidney disease need to discuss potential risks with their doctor before starting treatment.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Cialis side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is advised, and excessive alcohol use should be avoided.
Dosage: Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
