Tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These usually are mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include changes in vision, such as blurred vision or sudden vision loss, and hearing problems, like ringing in the ears or sudden hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Prolonged erection (priapism) is another potential, though uncommon, side effect requiring immediate medical help. This is a painful condition lasting more than four hours.
Men with heart problems should discuss tadalafil use with their doctor beforehand. Tadalafil can lower blood pressure, potentially causing issues for those with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Similarly, those with liver or kidney problems should inform their physician.
Don’t take tadalafil with nitrates, drugs used to treat chest pain (angina), as this combination can dangerously lower blood pressure. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can increase tadalafil levels in your blood.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency. Self-medicating can be hazardous. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any medication, including generic Cialis.
