Cialis, like all medications, carries potential side effects. Knowing these helps you make informed decisions. Common side effects include headache, flushing, stuffy or runny nose, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects need immediate medical attention. These include: prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. Seek medical help immediately if you experience any of these.
Certain health conditions increase the risk of side effects. For example, men with heart problems or low blood pressure should discuss Cialis use with their doctor. Interactions with other medications are also possible. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you take.
