Cialis 100mg is a high dose. For most men, a lower dose is sufficient and safer. The recommended starting dose is 10mg.
Factors Influencing Safety
Safety depends on individual health. Pre-existing conditions like heart disease, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems significantly impact Cialis’s safety at any dosage. Men taking nitrates should absolutely avoid Cialis due to the risk of dangerously low blood pressure. Always consult your doctor before using Cialis, especially at this dosage. They’ll assess your health and determine the appropriate dose – and if it’s suitable at all.
Potential Side Effects at Higher Doses
Higher doses increase the likelihood of side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and muscle aches. At 100mg, more serious side effects like vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinged vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism) become more probable. Seek immediate medical attention for priapism; it requires urgent treatment.
Alternatives and Dosage Adjustments
If 10mg doesn’t provide sufficient efficacy, your doctor might increase the dosage gradually, but rarely to 100mg. Other treatments for erectile dysfunction exist, including PDE5 inhibitors with different dose ranges and mechanisms, and other options that may be more suitable for you. A thorough discussion with a medical professional is key to finding the best solution for your individual needs.
