Never double your Cialis dosage without explicit instruction from your doctor. Taking more than prescribed significantly increases your risk of side effects.
Increased Side Effects: Doubling your dose boosts the likelihood of experiencing common side effects like headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These can become more intense and prolonged.
Serious Side Effects: A higher dose raises the risk of serious side effects, including low blood pressure, vision changes (including sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. These require immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions: Increasing your Cialis dosage intensifies the potential for dangerous interactions with other medications, particularly nitrates used to treat chest pain. This combination can cause a dramatic drop in blood pressure, potentially life-threatening.
Individual Variation: Responses to Cialis vary. What works well for one person at a standard dose might cause severe side effects in another at a doubled dose. Your doctor assesses your specific health to determine a safe and effective dose.
Consult Your Doctor: If you’re unsatisfied with your current Cialis dosage or experience side effects, talk to your physician. They can adjust your dose or explore alternative treatment options, ensuring your safety and efficacy.
