Important :

• Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Avoid drinking alcohol in excess (eg, 5 glasses of wine, 5 shots of whiskey) while taking Cialis Jelly. Drinking alcohol in excess while taking Cialis Jelly may cause an increase in heart rate, decrease in blood pressure, dizziness, and headaches.

• Contact your health care provider at once if an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, whether painful or not. If a prolonged erection is not treated immediately, damage to the penis may result.

• Use Cialis Jelly with caution in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to its effects.
