While 10mg Cialis is generally well-tolerated, some men experience side effects. These are usually mild and temporary. Common side effects include headaches, flushing (redness in the face, neck, or chest), nasal congestion, indigestion, back pain, and muscle aches. These typically subside within a few hours.
Less Common Side Effects
Less frequently reported side effects include changes in vision (blurred vision, sensitivity to light), dizziness, and hearing problems. Rarely, more serious side effects like prolonged erection (priapism), heart attack, or stroke may occur. If you experience a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours, seek immediate medical attention. Similarly, chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden vision changes warrant immediate medical help.
When to Consult Your Doctor
Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before starting Cialis, particularly heart medications, nitrates, or alpha-blockers. Discuss any pre-existing health conditions, such as heart disease or low blood pressure. If side effects are bothersome or persistent, contact your doctor to discuss alternative dosages or treatments.
