Cialis Side Effects And Their Mitigation
Questions related to side effects of generic Cialis
When you take your first tablet of tadalafil, it is natural to feel concerned about the effects it will have on your body. Will the drug work? Is the dose enough to meet my expectations? What if I experience bad side effects? What do I do if I develop adverse reactions? How will they affect my relationships with my partner? These and some other questions will be answered by professionals in men’s health in this article.
The first thing you need to know is that it is normal to experience side effects following the intake of a pharmaceutical drug, especially if it is the drug you have never taken before. Your body will have to adjust to the effects of a substance that is unknown to it. The good news is that as you continue taking tadalafil, you will be less likely to experience side effects, but the therapeutic effects, on the other hand, will improve and increase over time.
If you are concerned that some of the embarrassing side effects of tadalafil might affect your image as a lover and ruin the romantic atmosphere, we suggest that you talk to your prescriber about taking lower doses of tadalafil on daily basis. This will create an ideal pace for your body to get used to the effects of tadalafil, and you will be more relaxed around the use of the drug.
What side effects of generic tadalafil should I expect?
The most common adverse reactions to tadalafil are related to blood vessels, blood pressure, and stomach health. Some of them are related to CNS and vision, though changes in color perception are more typical for the use of sildenafil (Viagra). Thus, you may experience:
- headaches
- muscle aches
- facial flushing
- stomach upset
- indigestion
- diarrhea
- runny or stuffy nose
- change in color perception
- dizziness
- nausea
These side effects are usually mild and go away within a few hours. You need to discuss dose adjustment with your doctor if this does not happen or if they keep on appearing and become intense.
Some serious, though very uncommon, side effects of tadalafil include:
- an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours or is painful
- swelling of the face, lips, tongue
- pain in the chest, arm
- irregular heartbeat, increased heart rate unrelated to sexual activity
- severe dizziness, confusion
- vomiting
- difficulty breathing
Immediately report to the ER or talk to a medical specialist if you experience any of the symptoms from this list.
Ways to minimize tadalafil side effects
Taking tadalafil with food minimizes the risk of tadalafil side effects and mitigates them. If you continue experiencing bothersome or persistent adverse reactions following the intake of generic Cialis, talk to your doctor – a change in the dose may be needed.
Do not take Cialis alongside alcohol, or in the very least be moderate in alcohol consumption. No more than 5 units of wine or 1 unit of a harder drink are recommended.
Follow the patient’s instructions with accuracy and never take more than one maximal recommended dose for 24 hours.
