Both Cialis and Viagra can cause side effects, though their frequency and severity vary. Understanding these potential risks helps you make informed decisions.
Cialis Side Effects
- Headache: This is a common side effect for both medications, often mild and transient. Facial flushing: Redness in the face and neck; usually resolves quickly. Muscle aches: Aching in muscles; usually mild and temporary. Nasal congestion: Stuffy or runny nose; typically resolves without intervention. Indigestion: Upset stomach or heartburn; often manageable with over-the-counter antacids. Back pain: Aching in the lower back; generally mild and short-lived. Rare but serious side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
