Talk to your doctor about any concerns before starting Cialis. Headaches are a common side effect; staying hydrated can help.
Managing Potential Side Effects
Facial flushing occurs in some users; it’s usually mild and temporary. Indigestion is another possibility; smaller meals might help. Muscle aches are infrequent, but rest and light exercise can alleviate discomfort. If you experience vision changes, such as blurred vision or changes in color perception, contact your doctor immediately. This is rare but requires prompt attention. Rarely, Cialis can cause prolonged erection (priapism), a medical emergency requiring immediate medical attention.
Medication Interactions
Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Certain medications can interact with Cialis, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. This is especially true for nitrates used to treat chest pain.
Dosage and Timing
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions carefully. Cialis comes in different dosages, and the right one depends on individual needs and health conditions. Don’t exceed the recommended dose. Alcohol consumption can affect Cialis’s effectiveness; moderate your intake accordingly.
