Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or sudden vision loss. These are serious side effects requiring prompt medical care.
Contact your doctor if you experience prolonged erection lasting more than four hours (priapism). This condition requires immediate treatment to prevent long-term damage.
Report any side effects that concern you, even if they seem minor. This allows your doctor to monitor your response to Cialis and adjust treatment if needed. Common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. While usually mild and temporary, persistence or severity warrants a call to your physician.
Understanding Your Medical History
It’s crucial to inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, liver or kidney problems, or blood pressure issues. This ensures safe and appropriate Cialis usage.
Medication Interactions
Always disclose all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to your doctor. Certain medications can interact negatively with Cialis, potentially leading to harmful side effects. Open communication is key.
