3

Cialis is the brand name of a prescription drug designed to treat erectile dysfunction. It’s also administered to those with symptoms and signs of an enlarged prostate.

Cialis enables more blood to flow to the user’s penis for longer so that they can maintain their erection. The user needs to be sexually stimulated in order for the drug to work.

Cialis also helps in relieving the lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It’s believed to help by relaxing muscles that lie in the lower urinary tract.

With any medicine that have an effect on blood vessels, side effects, along with possible issues with drug interactions, can be expected. If you’re considering taking Cialis, you should know the side effects like Cialis heartburn, possible interactions, and medical conditions that could mean the medicine is unsuitable for you.

The most common Cialis side effects are:

  • Back pain
  • Diarrhea/stomach upset
  • Dizziness
  • Flushing
  • Headache
  • Muscle Pain
  • Nasal congestion
  • Pain in the extremities or limbs
  • Swelling of the pharynx and nose
  • Upper respiratory infection

Serious Cialis Side Effects

Examples of serious side effects caused by Cialis include:

Cardiovascular events such as chest pain, fainting, heart attack, or stroke

The majority of those who have experienced severe cardio events while on Cialis had pre-existing risk factors.

Low blood pressure (hypotension)

As blood pressure is lowered by Tadalafil, lowered blood pressure is a potential side effect.

Prolonged erections

While rare, it’s been reported by some people that erections lasting for more than four hours or painful erections lasting for more than six hours (priapism) have been experienced while on similar drugs to Cialis. Each of these situations should be given emergency medical treatment. If not treated immediately, priapism could damage erectile tissues.

Severe allergic reactions

Sensitivity reactions from taking Cialis include exfoliative dermatitis, hives, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. These reactions might be rare, but they’re severe and potentially lethal.

Sudden loss of, or decrease in, hearing

Another side effect that has been reported by those taking Cialis is hearing loss. This side effect can be accompanied by ringing in the ears or dizziness. If anyone should experience this while on the drug, they should stop taking it immediately, and seek emergency medical assistance in the event of hearing loss.

Sudden loss of vision

While rare, also been reported by those taking such drugs as Tadalafil has been Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). This can result in a sudden decrease, or even total loss, of vision in either one or both eyes. In this case, the user should cease taking the drug at once, and seek emergency medical assistance if they notice any changes in vision.

How Long Do These Side Effects Last For?

The more common side effects from Cialis are only temporary and will abate within a few short days, or even hours, once you’ve discontinued the medicine. Certain side effects, such as muscle pain and headache, were the primary reasons why a small number of people who took part in the initial clinic trials ceased taking Cialis.

However, when it comes to side effects like cardio events, hearing loss, priapism, prolonged erections, and severe allergic reactions, they call for immediate medical assistance and possibly even long-term. Then there are those severe albeit rare potential adverse effects like stroke, heart attack, hearing loss, and erectile issue damage due to priapism that could have lifelong consequences. Vision loss as a result of NAION can be permanent.

I suffer from heart health, this is not a joke. I take this very seriously. I was also told that ED can occur because of this, and this is not the only side effect of heart disease. Heart disease can dramatically shorten the life span of men, and to be honest, it’s a very frightening scenario. What should be done? What pills to take?

Many men do not maintain their health. I have minor erection problems. I took an online consultation at UK Meds and they told me what I needed to get better. I wish I had done this earlier. By the way, if you haven’t tried it yet, you can visit their website for information and also do a clearance. They have excellent specialists who will advise you and advise you on what medications you need to take.
