Cialis

Cialis, also known as the "weekend pill", is a medication that assists men who have difficulties getting erections. Its long-lasting and quick effects made it popular when it was released in 2003. Other ED pills require more planning, but Cialis permits patients to remain spontaneous.

The most common cause of impotence is limited blood flow to the penis. Cialis, therefore, promotes more blood flow to the penis. More blood flow means a fuller, firmer erection.

It contains tadalafil. Tadalafil is a type of medicine known as a PDE-5 inhibitor. It works by helping to increase the levels of certain chemicals that help the blood vessels relax. This allows more blood flow into the penis, helping you get and keep an erection.

Cialis is much faster acting than most other erectile dysfunction medications, working in as little as 30 minutes. Not to mention, the effects can last up to a full 36 hours.

Cialis is available in two different doses.

The usual and best starting dose for most men is the 10mg dose. This is so you can easily adjust your dose.

If you find that the 10mg dose doesn't work for you, you can increase your dose to 20mg.

You should take one Cialis tablet at least 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. However, if you don't need it straight away, the effects last up to 36 hours after taking it.

Each tablet should be swallowed whole with some water. Do not crush, split or chew tablets.

You must be sexually aroused for the medicine to work.

Do not take the 10mg or 20mg doses daily. Only take them as and when you need them. Cialis Daily is available for those looking for continuous treatment.

If you take more than you should, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Although you can take Cialis with or without food, you should avoid eating heavy meals beforehand as this can reduce the effects of the medicine.

You should also avoid drinking alcohol with this medicine. Alcohol can affect your ability to get an erection and may increase your risk of side effects.

Like all prescription medicines, this medicine can cause some side effects. Thankfully, the most common side effects are mild and often go away without treatment.

Because you only take it when you need it, the risk of side effects is lower than other medicines.

Regardless, it’s still important to know the potential side effects so you know what to expect if they occur.

Whilst generally a safe medication for most men, you should always check with your doctor if you have any other medical conditions before taking this medicine.

If you have any of the following conditions, do not use it without consulting a doctor:

• a problem with your blood
• alcoholism
• any eye or vision problems
• hearing loss
• heart problems
• a recent stroke or heart attack
• low or high blood pressure
• a stomach ulcer
• kidney or liver problems
• a condition of the penis (e.g. Peyronie’s disease)
• a condition that causes seizures

You should also be cautious if you take other medicines, as they may interact.

Be mindful if you take any of the following:

• high blood pressure medicines
• medicines for an enlarged prostate
• certain antifungal medicines
• anti-seizure medicines
• certain antibiotics

Do not take Cialis and other ED medicines together, as this will not improve your impotence and may put you at a higher risk of adverse effects.

If you’re unsure whether you fall under any of these groups, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

There are many misconceptions surrounding ED treatment that can discourage men from getting the help they need.

For example:

• It will prevent premature ejaculation
• It is less effective than Viagra
• It will increase your size

These are just three of many myths about Cialis and other ED treatments.

The good thing about ED medicines is that if you find that one doesn’t work for you, there will likely be a suitable alternative.

There are several other prescription medicines from the same family that work in the same way.

Other medicines like Cialis include:

• Viagra (Sildenafil)
• Levitra (Vardenafil)
• Spedra (Avanafil)
