Understanding Cialis Dosage and Potential Side Effects

Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Cialis dosage. The typical starting dose is 10 mg taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and health conditions. Don’t exceed the maximum recommended daily dose of 20 mg. For daily use, a lower dose (2.5 mg or 5 mg) is usually prescribed.

Common Side Effects

Like most medications, Cialis can cause side effects. These are usually mild and temporary. The most frequently reported side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, back pain, and muscle aches. These generally subside within a few hours. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.

Less Common Side Effects

Less common side effects can include dizziness, changes in vision (blurred vision or sensitivity to light), and fainting. If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor. Remember, individual reactions vary. This information is for general knowledge and does not replace professional medical advice.
