Before starting Cialis 5mg, discuss your medical history with your doctor. This includes any heart conditions, liver or kidney problems, blood pressure issues, or eye problems such as retinitis pigmentosa.
Inform your doctor about all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs. Cialis can interact with nitrates (found in some heart medications), alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate problems), and certain antifungals. This interaction may cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking Cialis. Grapefruit can increase the levels of Cialis in your blood, potentially leading to side effects.
Be aware that Cialis may cause dizziness or vision changes. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience these side effects. Alcohol consumption can enhance these effects.
If you experience a sudden loss of vision or hearing, stop taking Cialis and seek immediate medical attention. These are rare but serious side effects.
This information does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cialis or making any changes to your medication regimen.
