Tadalafil, like all medications, can cause side effects. The most common include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
Less Common Side Effects
Less frequently reported side effects include back pain, muscle aches, and changes in vision (blurred vision, sensitivity to light). If you experience any vision changes, stop taking Tadalafil and contact your doctor immediately.
Serious Side Effects: When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical help if you experience: a prolonged erection (lasting more than 4 hours), sudden loss of vision or hearing, chest pain, or irregular heartbeat. These are serious side effects requiring prompt medical attention.
Remember: This information doesn’t replace professional medical advice. Always discuss potential side effects and your medical history with your doctor before starting any medication.
Managing Side Effects
Most side effects are manageable. Staying hydrated helps with headaches and flushing. Over-the-counter pain relievers can alleviate headache or muscle aches. Discuss any persistent or bothersome side effects with your doctor; they may adjust your dosage or suggest alternative treatment options.
