Cialis, while effective for BPH and ED, can cause side effects. The most common include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary. However, some individuals experience more serious side effects requiring immediate medical attention.
Serious Side Effects
Seek immediate medical help if you experience sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or a prolonged and painful erection (priapism). These are rare but potentially dangerous. Additionally, Cialis can interact negatively with certain medications, particularly nitrates used for chest pain. This combination can cause a dangerously low blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking before starting Cialis.
Less Common Side Effects
Less frequent side effects include back pain, muscle aches, dizziness, and changes in vision (such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light). While these are generally less severe, they can still impact your daily life. If any side effect bothers you or persists, contact your doctor.
