Cialis Professional overdose: signs, risks and what to do
Overdose of Cialis Professional (Tadalafil) is uncommon at the standard 20mg dose but can occur with accidental double dosing, intentional misuse or interactions. Knowing the signs and the right response is part of safe use, especially in households where Cialis Professional is shared or stored within reach of children.
Recognising overdose
Overdose typically presents as exaggerated versions of the medication's known side effects. With Tadalafil, that can include severe hypotension, marked dizziness, confusion, persistent vomiting, prolonged visual disturbances, syncope, or, in extreme cases, cardiovascular instability. Symptom severity scales with the amount taken and with co-ingestion of alcohol or interacting drugs.
Immediate action
Suspected overdose is a medical emergency. Stop further dosing immediately and contact emergency services or your local poison control. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a healthcare provider. According to the prescribing information, no specific antidote exists for most Erectile Dysfunction (ED) agents — supportive care is the standard approach.
