Long-term use of Ciallis (Tadalafil): potential side Effects

Cialis (tadalafil) is a medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction and benign hypertrophy of the prostate. Although it is generally safe and effective, it may have some long-term side effects in some cases. Some of them are:

Cardiovascular side effects

Arterial hypertension: rarely, it can cause a slight increase in blood pressure. This is particularly worrying in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular problems.

Cardiac dysfunction: although not common, cases of cardiac dysfunction associated with prolonged use have been reported. This is because the medication can affect blood flow and heart function in some sensitive individuals.

Effects on the visual system

Eye problems: may slightly increase intraocular pressure. In extreme and rare cases, it has been associated with a condition called anterior ischemic non-arteritic retinopathy (NAION), which may affect vision.

Other side effects

Liver dysfunction: in exceptional cases, an impact on liver function has been observed with long-term use. This manifests with changes in liver enzyme levels in blood tests.

Muscle and skeletal problems: some patients have reported muscle pain and, in very rare cases, have been associated with bone fractures, particularly in patients with pre-existing risk factors for osteoporosis.

However, it is important to note that most patients tolerate Cialis well and these long-term side effects are relatively rare. In addition, proper prescription and regular medical follow-up can help detect and manage any potential problems.
