Cialis, while effective for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects include vision changes, such as blurred vision or changes in color perception. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss.
Back pain and muscle aches also occur. These typically resolve on their own. However, consult your doctor if the pain is severe or persistent.
Important Note: Cialis can lower blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications you take, especially nitrates, as combining them with Cialis can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This combination should be avoided.
Rare but potentially serious side effects include hearing loss and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical help if you experience either of these.
Remember, this information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always discuss potential side effects and drug interactions with your doctor before starting Cialis or any other medication.
