Taking 40mg of Cialis carries a higher risk of side effects compared to the recommended dose. Common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, muscle aches, back pain, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though less common, side effects can include vision changes (blurred vision, changes in color vision), prolonged erection (priapism), and hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Individuals with heart conditions should exercise caution, as Cialis can lower blood pressure. It’s vital to discuss your health history with a doctor before using Cialis, especially if you have a history of heart disease, stroke, high or low blood pressure, or liver or kidney problems.
Combining Cialis with nitrates (found in some heart medications) can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Never mix them without explicit medical advice.
The higher dose may increase the likelihood of these side effects. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions. A lower dose might be sufficient and minimize potential risks.
