Understanding Cialis Side Effects and Contraindications

Consult your doctor before using Cialis. They can assess your health and determine if it’s safe for you.

Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.

    Headache: Often resolves on its own. Staying hydrated may help. Flushing: A feeling of warmth in your face and neck. It usually subsides quickly. Nasal Congestion: Can be managed with over-the-counter decongestants (check with your doctor first). Indigestion: Consider taking Cialis with food to minimize this.

More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinged vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.

Cialis is contraindicated in certain situations:

If you have heart problems, especially unstable angina or recent heart attack. If you have low blood pressure or high blood pressure that is not controlled. If you have a history of stroke. If you have retinitis pigmentosa (a rare eye disease). If you are taking nitrates for chest pain (a dangerous interaction). If you have a known allergy to tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis). If you are using other ED medications concurrently.

This information is not exhaustive. Always discuss potential side effects and contraindications with your healthcare provider before starting Cialis or any medication.
