Cialis and Heartburn: What’s the Connection?
Cialis (tadalafil) is a medication called a PDE5 inhibitor. It’s often prescribed for erectile dysfunction (ED) because it helps relax smooth muscles and increase blood flow. Sometimes, doctors also prescribe Cialis to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlarged prostate.
One of the more common side effects of Cialis is heartburn. Some studies show that as many as 30% of people taking Cialis experience heartburn symptoms. If you’re taking Cialis and experiencing heartburn, you’re not alone.
But why does Cialis cause heartburn in some people? How can you manage this side effect? And when should you talk to your doctor about it?
This article will answer those questions and more. But first, let’s be clear: This information is for educational purposes only. Always talk to your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider before starting Cialis or making any changes to your treatment plan.
