Schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following after starting Cialis:
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). Dark urine. Light-colored stools. Abdominal pain. Persistent nausea or vomiting. Unusual fatigue or weakness. Loss of appetite.
These symptoms could indicate liver problems. Your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation, potentially including blood tests to assess your liver enzyme levels (such as ALT and AST). Elevated levels suggest liver damage, and prompt medical attention is crucial.
Also, consult your doctor before starting Cialis if you:
- Have a history of liver disease. Are taking other medications that could affect your liver. Consume excessive amounts of alcohol.
Open communication with your doctor is key to safe Cialis use. Regular monitoring of your liver function, especially if you’re at higher risk, is recommended. This ensures you receive appropriate care and minimize potential complications.
Your doctor might recommend liver function tests before starting Cialis and at regular intervals during treatment. Discuss any changes in your health or medication regimen with your doctor immediately. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding Cialis dosage and usage.
