Cialis

The side effects associated with Cialis are generally mild to moderate (due to it having a longer window of effect compared to other ED medicines any side effects can also last longer) the most common of which include:

• Facial flushing
• Headaches
• Light-headedness
• Backache
• Indigestion
• Stuffy nose

If you experience any chest pain when using Cialis or your erection lasts for longer than four hours then please contact the emergency services and seek medical help immediately.

Please read the patient information leaflet which comes with the medication, before taking Cialis, for a full list of potential side effects and warnings.

Cialis should not be taken if you are taking certain other medications due to serious and potentially life threatening interactions. It is really important that you give us a full list of ALL the medicines you are taking every time you use our service.

Do not use Cialis if you are taking Nicorandil or any Nitrates. 

Nitrates are found in some heart medications such as a GTN spray or tablets that you put under your tongue and isosorbide mononitrate/dinitrate used for angina, as well as in certain recreational drugs such as “poppers”, “room odorizers” and “aromas”. They can also be found in other medications so it's very important that you list all the medicines and recreational drugs you have or are taking when asked. This is because when combined with ED medications, they can cause a serious and life threatening drop in blood pressure, which can be fatal.

If you are taking alpha-blockers (such as alfuzosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin or terazosin), you must not use Cialis as it can cause a dangerous drop in your blood pressure.

This is not a full list of all the medication interactions - Cialis can interact dangerously with other medicines. Please list ALL the medicines you are taking when asked. If you subsequently start taking a new medication, before taking your Cialis please always check with our doctors first by sending a message via your Patient Record, to ensure the Cialis is still safe to take.

If our doctors think that an online consultation is not appropriate we will let you know via your Patient Record and refund you straight away. Please note that refunds take up to five working days to appear on your statement.
