Consult your doctor before starting long-term use of Cialis or Viagra. Regular check-ups are vital for monitoring your health.
Long-term use may increase risks, so proactive healthcare is crucial. These potential issues warrant attention:
- Hearing problems: Sudden hearing loss is a rare but reported side effect. Report any changes immediately. Vision changes: Changes in vision, including sudden vision loss or blue-tinged vision, need prompt medical evaluation. Heart problems: Men with pre-existing heart conditions should discuss long-term use with their physician. Cialis and Viagra can strain the heart, particularly in those with underlying issues. Low blood pressure: These medications can lower blood pressure, potentially causing dizziness or fainting. Monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially when starting or adjusting dosages. Priapism: This is a painful, prolonged erection lasting more than four hours. It’s a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.
Specific recommendations for managing potential risks include:
Regular blood pressure checks: Monitor your blood pressure at home and during doctor visits. Open communication with your doctor: Discuss any changes in your health, including vision or hearing changes, immediately. Adherence to prescribed dosage: Never exceed the recommended dosage. Lifestyle modifications: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can help mitigate some risks. Medication interactions: Inform your doctor of all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
Remember, individual responses to medication vary. This information provides general guidance; a personalized plan from your doctor is essential for safe and responsible long-term use.
