Begin with the lowest effective dose, typically 5mg for both Ed and Cialis daily use. Your doctor will adjust this based on your response and tolerance. Higher doses are available, but aren’t always necessary and may increase side effects.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relievers for headache relief. If these persist or worsen, contact your doctor.
Less common, but serious, side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and chest pain. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Dosage for Cialis varies depending on whether you’re taking it as needed or daily. For “as needed” use, your doctor will advise on an appropriate starting dose and how often you can take it. Daily use requires a lower dosage, usually 2.5mg or 5mg, taken consistently.
Medication interactions are possible. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you take, including herbal remedies, to prevent potential problems. Alcohol consumption can also interact negatively with these medications; moderate your intake.
Remember, individualized treatment plans are key. Your doctor will determine the best dosage and medication based on your health history and needs. Open communication with your physician is vital for managing your medication effectively and safely.
