Start with the lowest dose (5mg) to assess your tolerance. Your doctor will adjust this based on your response and overall health. Common dosages range from 5mg to 20mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
Common Side Effects
Headache is frequently reported. It’s usually mild and temporary. Facial flushing, a reddening of the skin, can also occur. Muscle aches and Back pain are less common side effects. These usually subside within a few hours.
Less Frequent Side Effects
Indigestion or Upset stomach might happen. Drink plenty of water to help alleviate this. Nasal congestion (stuffy nose) is another possibility. Rarely, more serious side effects, such as vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, or prolonged erection (priapism), require immediate medical attention.
Important Considerations
Never exceed the prescribed dosage. Taking more Cialis than recommended won’t enhance its effects but could increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor about all other medications you’re taking, including herbal supplements, as interactions can occur. Discuss any pre-existing health conditions, particularly heart problems or low blood pressure, before starting Cialis.
Consult Your Doctor
