Combining Cialis and Viagra significantly increases your risk of experiencing side effects. Both medications lower blood pressure, and using them together can cause a dangerous drop, potentially leading to dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack. This risk is particularly elevated in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or high blood pressure.
Severe Side Effects
Beyond hypotension, the combined use can increase the likelihood of experiencing headaches, muscle aches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. More serious side effects, such as prolonged erections (priapism), which can cause permanent damage, are also a greater concern with dual medication use. Vision changes, including temporary vision loss or blurred vision, are also more prevalent.
Medication Interactions
Cialis and Viagra interact differently with other medications. Always inform your doctor of all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting either Cialis or Viagra, or combining them. This prevents potentially life-threatening interactions. The combination can amplify the effects of nitrates, which are frequently prescribed for heart conditions, creating a perilous situation.
