Both Cialis daily and as-needed formulations share some common side effects, but their frequency and severity can differ. Headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion are among the most frequently reported for both.
Cialis Daily
Because you take Cialis daily at a lower dose, side effects tend to be milder and less frequent than with the as-needed version. However, back pain and muscle aches appear more often with daily use. You might experience these side effects consistently, but they usually diminish over time.
Cialis As Needed
With Cialis as-needed, higher doses are taken only when required, potentially leading to more intense side effects, although temporarily. The increased likelihood of experiencing these side effects is offset by the fact you only take it when needed.
