Female Cialis (Tadalafil) at 20mg may produce a range of skin effects depending on Tadalafil; this page covers what is typical, what is rare, and what calls for stopping the medication.
Common skin effects of Female Cialis
According to the prescribing information for Tadalafil, common skin reactions include mild rash, dryness, mild itching, transient flushing and (for some agents) photosensitivity that makes the skin more sensitive to UV. Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, allowing cGMP to accumulate in vascular smooth muscle and increasing local blood flow during arousal. Most are mild, appear in the first weeks and resolve without intervention or with simple measures (moisturiser, sunscreen).
Serious skin reactions
Severe skin reactions — Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome — are rare but life-threatening. Warning signs are a rash with fever, mucosal involvement (mouth, eyes), skin peeling, or rapidly spreading rash. Any of these on Female Cialis at 20mg is a medical emergency and reason to stop the medication and seek immediate care.
