Schedule a consultation before starting Cialis. Your doctor will assess your overall health, including any pre-existing conditions like heart problems, high blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease. These conditions can interact negatively with Cialis, potentially causing dangerous side effects.
Medication Interactions
Cialis interacts with various medications, including nitrates used to treat chest pain. Taking Cialis with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Your doctor will review your current medication list to identify potential interactions and ensure safe usage. This includes over-the-counter medications and supplements.
Personalized Dosage
Cialis dosage varies depending on individual needs and health status. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you, ensuring optimal effectiveness and minimizing potential side effects. Starting with a lower dose is often recommended, especially for individuals new to the medication.
Alternative Treatments
If Cialis isn’t suitable for you, your doctor can explore alternative treatments for erectile dysfunction. This includes discussing lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, or recommending other medications. A thorough examination helps determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
