Are There Any Side Effects of Cialis
One of the reasons that Cialis is so popular is that it shows less side effects than other erectile dysfunction drugs. In addition, the benefits of taking the drug can last for up to 32 hours. This means that the drug is still in your system for that period of time and likewise any side effects may continue for that period. Although Cialis is a favorite among many men because it provides such long-lasting effects while the drug is safe there are still some Cialis side effects. Being aware of the side effects will prepare you for what you an expect when using Cialis.
What Are the Side Effects of Cialis
These are the most common reported side effects of Cialis:
- Upset stomach and cramps,
- Headache,
- Muscle ache,
- Back ache,
- Vision problems. This includes seeing a blue tinge, blurred vision or color blindness. Pilots should not use Cialis before flying.
Although these side effects may occur most men find that they are not serious enough to out weigh the benefits that they get from Cialis and continue to take the drug. The side effects will pass as the drug passes out of you bloodstream.
In some men Cialis can cause a prolonged erection that lasts several hours. This condition is known as priapism and can be very dangerous. A prolonged erection stops normal blood flow to the penis and can result in permanent damage. If your erection lasts for more than four hours you should seek medical assistance.
