Consult your doctor before starting Cialis, especially if you take nitrates for chest pain or alpha-blockers for high blood pressure. These medications can interact dangerously with Cialis, causing a significant drop in blood pressure.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary. Drink plenty of water to help alleviate some symptoms.
Muscle aches or back pain are also possible. Light exercise and over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may provide relief. Always follow the recommended dosage instructions on the medication labels.
If you experience vision changes, such as sudden vision loss or blue-tinged vision, stop taking Cialis immediately and seek medical attention. These are rare but serious potential side effects.
A prolonged erection (priapism) requires immediate medical help. This is a medical emergency.
Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking. This includes prescription and over-the-counter drugs. This allows your doctor to assess potential drug interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Your doctor can advise on managing side effects and answer any questions you have about Cialis and its potential interactions with other medications. Always follow their guidance.
