Cialis and Pre-existing Health Issues

Always consult your doctor before taking Cialis if you have any pre-existing health conditions. This is particularly crucial for those with heart problems.

Cardiovascular Issues

Cialis can lower blood pressure, potentially causing issues for individuals with hypertension, angina, or a history of heart attack or stroke. Your doctor will assess your risk and determine if Cialis is safe for you. They may recommend alternative treatments or adjust your existing medications.

Liver or Kidney Disease

Cialis is primarily metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. If you have liver or kidney disease, your doctor needs to carefully evaluate your ability to process and eliminate the medication. Dosage adjustments may be necessary, or an alternative treatment might be preferred.

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Individuals with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare inherited eye disease, should avoid Cialis. The drug may exacerbate vision problems associated with this condition.

Blood Cell Disorders

Cialis can affect blood cell counts in rare instances. If you have sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia, discuss the potential risks with your doctor before considering Cialis.

Prostate Issues

Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) should discuss Cialis use with their doctor. While Cialis can help with BPH symptoms, it may also interact with other medications used to treat the condition.
