Cialis, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less common, but still possible, are back pain, muscle aches, and changes in vision.
More serious side effects, though rare, include prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than four hours. This requires immediate medical attention. Sudden vision loss or hearing loss also necessitates immediate contact with a doctor.
Heart-related side effects, such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or stroke, are possible, especially in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions. Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience any of these symptoms.
If you experience any side effects that worry you, or if they persist or worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide guidance and assess whether adjustments to your medication or further investigation are needed. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to prevent potential drug interactions.
