Understanding Potential Side Effects and Precautions

Consult your doctor before using Cialis. Headache, flushing, and nasal congestion are common side effects. These usually resolve quickly. Less common, but potentially serious, side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), requiring immediate medical attention. Sudden vision loss or hearing loss also necessitate immediate medical help.

Medication Interactions

Cialis interacts with some medications. Inform your doctor of all medications you’re taking, including nitrates (used for chest pain) and alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure). Grapefruit juice can also interact; avoid it while using Cialis. Alcohol consumption can intensify side effects; moderation is advised.

Health Conditions

Cialis may not be suitable if you have certain heart conditions, kidney disease, liver disease, or a history of stroke. Discuss your medical history with your physician before use. Individuals with blood cell disorders should also exercise caution.
