About Cialis
Cialis is a prescription medicine taken by mouth for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a condition where the penis does not harden and expand when a man is sexually excited, or when he cannot keep an erection. Cialis may help a man with ED get and keep an erection when he is sexually excited. Cialis must be used only under a doctor’s care.
Cialis does not:
- cure ED
- increase a man’s sexual desire
- protect a man or his partner from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Speak to your healthcare professional about ways to guard against sexually transmitted diseases.
- serve as a male form of birth control
Cialis is only for men with ED. Cialis is not for women or children. Cialis must be used only under a healthcare professional’s care.
Side Effects of Cialis
Cialis can cause your blood pressure to drop suddenly to an unsafe level if it is taken with certain other medicines such as nitrates and alpha-blockers, and recreational drugs that contain nitrates called “poppers.” A sudden drop in your blood pressure could cause you to become dizzy, faint, or have a heart attack or stroke.
Tell all your healthcare professionals that you take Cialis. If you need emergency medical care for a heart problem, it will be important for your healthcare professionals to know when you last took Cialis.
Cialis may uncommonly cause:
- an erection that won’t go away (priapism)
- vision changes, such as seeing a blue tinge to objects or having difficulty telling the difference between the colors blue and green
Some common side effects with Cialis include:
- headache
- indigestion
- back pain

- take any medicines called “nitrates”
