Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, muscle aches, nasal congestion, flushing, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects, though rare, include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Precautions
Avoid Cialis if you have heart problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or have experienced a recent heart attack or stroke. Do not combine Cialis with nitrates, as this can dangerously lower your blood pressure. Alcohol can intensify side effects; moderate consumption is advised. Inform your doctor about all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to prevent interactions. Cialis may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery; assess your condition before driving.
