Tadalafil, while generally well-tolerated, can cause side effects in women. Common reactions include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and transient.
Less common but more serious side effects require immediate medical attention. These include changes in vision (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek medical help promptly if you experience any of these.
Interactions with other medications are possible. Tadalafil interacts with nitrates (used for chest pain) and alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure and prostate problems). Combining these with tadalafil can lead to dangerously low blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you take before starting tadalafil.
Grapefruit juice can also interfere with tadalafil’s metabolism, potentially increasing its concentration in the body and raising the risk of side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking tadalafil.
This information is not exhaustive. Always consult your physician or a qualified healthcare professional for personalized advice and to discuss any concerns about side effects or interactions before starting or continuing tadalafil treatment.
