Cialis Facts for Users

Before you use an erectile dysfunction drug such as Cialis you should be as informed about it as possible. It is your responsibility if you care about your health and safety. That is part of the reason this informational page is presented to you right now.

What you Should Know

One very important aspect of using Cialis is in knowing which medications or herbs it can or cannot be used with. Ones that it should not be used with include medications such as these:

• Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, Minitran, Deponit, Transderm-Nitro. You should also not use it and/or use it with caution if you are on the following: Viagra, Levitra, Caverject, Muse, Edex, Yocon, or Yodoxin.

• If you are in the process of obtaining a prescription for Cialis you should also be careful about any existing health condition. You should be particularly concerned if you have high blood pressure because you should get a heart attack.

• You should also be concerned if you suffer from any one of the following conditions: liver disease, angina, stroke, ulcer, or penile deformity. You may not be able to use Cialis in these instances, or you may not be able to use it if you have diabetes or high cholesterol levels.  

• In any case, your entire health history should be discussed with your doctor before you take Cialis. Furthermore, if you drink alcohol or if you smoke on a regular basis your doctor should know about this as well.

• You should also be careful if you are a woman carrying an unborn child. The same applies to if you are nursing.

• You might be surprised that this is even an issue, but occasionally women do use this drug. More research needs to be done on the use of Cialis for women but for the most part they are not required to take the risk of harming an unborn child.

• Another major issue that needs to be addressed is whether or not you just had a heart attack within the past 90 days. This is especially important because your doctor needs to be able to properly assess the risks associated with you being sexually involved.

• Another issue concerning Cialis is blurred vision. This very rarely happens but should be brought up in case you wonder why suddenly everything seems so hazy. In rare cases, men have gone blind so if your eyesight is a little bit fuzzy you should consult a doctor.
