Cialis 200mg, like all medications, carries potential side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less common but more serious side effects can include vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious side effects.
Vision and Hearing Changes
Changes in vision or hearing require immediate medical attention. Report any sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing to your doctor immediately. This is particularly important for sudden vision loss in one or both eyes. Prompt medical intervention may help mitigate potential long-term issues.
Drug Interactions
Cialis 200mg interacts with several medications. Nitrates (used to treat chest pain) are strictly contraindicated due to a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate problems) can also cause significant blood pressure changes when combined with Cialis. Similarly, some antifungal medications and HIV protease inhibitors can interact, affecting Cialis’s efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Always inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking before starting Cialis 200mg. This includes over-the-counter drugs.
Further Considerations
Alcohol consumption can intensify Cialis side effects. Grapefruit juice can also alter the drug’s metabolism and should be avoided. Your doctor can provide personalized guidance about these interactions and adjust dosages as needed based on your individual health profile. Open communication with your doctor is critical for safe and effective use of Cialis 200mg.
