Always take Cialis exactly as your doctor prescribes. A typical dose is 20mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Do not take it more than once a day.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as they can interact with the medication.
Cialis can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less common but serious side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Certain conditions may make Cialis unsafe. Inform your doctor if you have:
| Heart problems | Cialis can lower blood pressure. |
| Liver or kidney disease | These organs process Cialis; impaired function may alter its effects. |
| Blood cell disorders | Cialis may increase the risk of bleeding. |
| Retinitis pigmentosa | This eye condition may be exacerbated by Cialis. |
Do not consume alcohol excessively while taking Cialis. Excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects.
Cialis can interact with other medications. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking before starting Cialis.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Store Cialis at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
