Never take more than your doctor prescribes. A 200mg dose is significantly higher than the standard dosage and carries increased risk. Consult your physician before increasing your dosage.
Medication Interactions
Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Certain medications, such as nitrates, can interact dangerously with Cialis, potentially causing a drastic drop in blood pressure.
Potential Side Effects
Higher doses increase the likelihood of side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less common but more serious side effects include prolonged erection (priapism), vision changes (including sudden vision loss), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious side effects.
Precautions
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Cialis, as it can exacerbate side effects. If you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or a history of stroke, discuss the risks with your doctor before using Cialis. Do not operate heavy machinery or drive if you experience dizziness or blurred vision.
Underlying Health Conditions
Cialis may not be suitable for individuals with certain pre-existing conditions, including severe liver or kidney disease. Your doctor will assess your overall health to determine if Cialis is safe for you.
