I take 20 mg Cialis once or twice a month to counteract the sexual effects of avodart taken once a month. However, the last 3 times after cialis ,I've experienced stomack upset and pain that was severe [one instance] and lasted 2 weeks after the last dose.
How can I prevent stomach upset and upper abdominal pain after taking 20 mg.of Cialis occassionally?

Every time I take 20mg of Cialis I get 72 hour upset stomach. I tried daily (5 mg) and I get 48 hour upset stomach. I tried 2.5 mg daily and same results. I don't think taking another drug for side effects of the first drug is a good idea. That's how older people end up on 12 - 20 different prescription drugs and end up talking to to the imaginary circus people. Natural herbs and foods can increase blood flow...

Have you reported this to the Dr prescribing it? I'd be interested as to what he thinks is causing it and his suggestions.

My Urologist suggested i go online to seek help from other patients. I had an upper Gi radiogram with normal results and am now taking 10 mg of Cialis to see if I can tolerate it along with 40 mg famotodine bid.

While these can be side effects, they don't usually last that long. I'd talk to my dr if I were you.

Thank you. I saw 3 docs. My internist who recommended zantac and referred me to a gastroenterologist who doubled zantac dose and ordered an upper GI radiogram. The latter showed normal results. Lastly my Urologist suggested i go to an online site to seek help from other patients.
