Always consult your doctor before starting Cialis, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney disease. They can assess your suitability and potential risks.
Side effects can include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, back pain, and muscle aches. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss; seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis, as it can increase the drug’s concentration in your blood, potentially leading to intensified side effects.
Cialis can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates used for chest pain. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Alcohol consumption should be moderate while using Cialis, as excessive drinking can worsen side effects.
If you experience prolonged erection (longer than 4 hours), seek immediate medical assistance, as this is a medical emergency.
Regular checkups with your doctor are recommended while using Cialis to monitor your health and adjust dosage if needed.
