Cialis, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, nasal congestion, indigestion, back pain, and muscle aches. These typically are mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Cialis interacts with certain medications. Nitrates are a particularly dangerous combination, potentially causing a severe drop in blood pressure. Discuss all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, with your doctor before using Cialis. This includes medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, and HIV.
Grapefruit juice can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially intensifying side effects. Avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking Cialis.
Alcohol can lower blood pressure and may increase the risk of side effects. Moderate alcohol consumption is generally advised.
