Tadalafil, while generally well-tolerated, can cause side effects. The most common are headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and transient.
More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (such as blurred vision or sudden vision loss), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Certain precautions are necessary. Avoid Tadalafil if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke. It’s also contraindicated with nitrates, due to potential dangerously low blood pressure. Discuss your medical history thoroughly with your doctor before starting Tadalafil.
Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Limit alcohol intake while taking Tadalafil. Grapefruit juice can also interact negatively; avoid it. Also, be aware that Tadalafil may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery, especially initially.
