WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF CIALIS?
Cialis (generic name tadalafil) is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Made by Eli Lilly and Company, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved Cialis in 2003. Cialis is well tolerated, acts faster and lasts longer than other ED treatments (up to 36 hours).
As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with Cialis® (tadalafil); but not everyone who takes Cialis will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate Cialis well. When people do develop Cialis side effects, in most cases they are minor. Often they require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider. In previous research studies, up to 3.1 percent of people taking Cialis stopped taking their medicine because of side effects.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects of this medication include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose. The effects, if present, usually pass within a few hours.
Less Common Side Effects
Although infrequent, Cialis may also cause a sore throat, memory problems, diarrhea or an upset stomach. These symptoms usually subside after a few hours.
