Cialis - The Most Common Cialis Side Effects
Cialis, also known as Tadalafil, has taken a march over Viagra when it comes to being effective in treating cases of erectile dysfunction. Although it has a lesser number of side effects compared to Viagra, those effects are still major enough for them not to be ignored. While Viagra was characterised by side effects like skin flushes, headaches, indigestion and muscle pain, Cialis side effects too were quite similar with majority of people experiencing headaches, followed by indigestion, nasal congestion, back pain, pain in the limbs and facial flushes. Most of the Cialis side effects are not experienced by everyone. So a few might have more headaches while some other might be totally free from it but may suffer pain in the limbs.
Variation in Cialis Side Effects
Most of the people tolerate Cialis side effects pretty well. When these side effects do crop up, most can be treated by a simple visit to the doctor. In some cases they can even be resolved by simple home remedies or some over the counter drugs. Even the side effects listed above are shown to occur in just about 4% of the people who consumed cialis. Apart from these there are a few other Cialis side effects that occurred in less than 2% people taking them. In simple terms, these are very rare since they can’t be proved over a sizable number of cialis takers. In fact it’s very hard to identify if these side effects are indeed the work of cialis or something else.
Major Side Effects Due to Cialis
Some of these rare Cialis side effects include Angina, a dry mouth, Hypertension, Insomnia, unexplained rashes, blurry vision, Vertigo, blue or other color tinged vision, difficulty in differentiating between colors like blue and green, change in hearing sensation, severe migraines, erections that last more than 4 hours at a stretch and painful erections that go well past 6 hours. In the rarest of rare instances, Cialis side effects have included heart attacks, chest pain, increased heart palpitations, stroke and even sudden death. Almost all the people who experienced the rarest of Cialis side effects had a notable history of cardiovascular problems. Most of these side effects originated during or a little while after sexual activity.
Lack of Intelligibility over the Role of Cialis in these Side Effects
The role of Cialis is still being studied in these side effects. Another one of the rare yet possible Cialis side effects is NAION. Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) is a condition which causes sudden vision loss in either one or both the eyes. There have also been reports of cialis takers being affected by transient global amnesia. Transient global amnesia causes a momentary loss of short term memory. While it may last for about 24 hours or even lesser, it is mostly harmless and has no recorded long term effect on the brain. People affected by this are usually unable to remember recent events and have a fractured ability to construct new memories. In such cases, it’s difficult to pinpoint the role of Cialis side effects.
Other Possible Causes for such Side Effects
The problems in these cases could have been the result of Cialis, or the person’s pre-existing health problems, sexual activity or even a possible combination of these things. Consuming alcohol during intake of Cialis is not recommended. Although drinking little amounts of alcohol is harmless, excessive consumption may lead to drug reactions and possible Cialis side effects alcohol. Men who combine Cialis with excessive amounts of alcohol (more than 4 drinks) will be prone to dizziness, low blood pressure and a rapid heart rate. Both alcohol and Cialis act similarly on blood vessels by opening them up. This dilation of the blood vessel is responsible for the symptoms that take place when Cialis is combined with alcohol. Although Cialis is mostly a male-centric drug, many females are known to consume it to aid sexual activity. While its effectiveness in this aspect is yet to be proven, female Cialis side effects if any should be similar to what men experience.
