Many men experience mild side effects with Cialis. Headache is the most common, affecting roughly 10-15% of users. Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen or acetaminophen if needed. If headaches are severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Facial flushing (redness) occurs in about 10% of users. This usually subsides on its own. Staying hydrated helps. If flushing is bothersome, talk to your physician.
Nasal congestion, affecting around 5-10% of men, can be managed with saline nasal spray or a decongestant. Avoid overuse of decongestants, as prolonged use can worsen congestion.
Muscle aches and back pain are less frequent, affecting roughly 2-5% of users. Rest and over-the-counter pain relievers usually provide relief. If pain persists, seek medical advice.
Digestive issues, such as indigestion or upset stomach, are also possible in a small percentage of users. Eating lighter meals and avoiding alcohol might help. Consult your doctor if symptoms are severe.
Less Common Side Effects
While rare, some men experience more serious side effects such as vision changes (blurred vision, changes in color perception) or sudden hearing loss. These require immediate medical attention. Seek emergency help if you experience these symptoms.

Cialis can interact with certain medications, including nitrates (used to treat chest pain). Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potentially dangerous interactions.
