Always discuss Cialis use with your doctor before starting treatment. This ensures the medication is right for you and helps minimize potential risks.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
More serious, though less common, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Cialis can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking.
Certain health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, or low blood pressure, may make Cialis unsafe. Your doctor will assess your suitability for the medication based on your medical history.
Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Limit your alcohol intake while taking Cialis.
