Cialis is a yellow, film-coated tablet in a shape of an almond that is designed to treat erectile dysfunction. It is commonly called as the “Weekend Pill” owing largely to its ability to stay effective for 36 hours. This is not taken regularly, instead it is labeled as “as needed” drug, taken only if there is an anticipated contact. It is available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg tablets.

Cialis is also effective treatment against the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of male patients. Another form of Tadalafil, with brand name Adcirca, is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Cialis is not a “miracle sex drug” for everyone. It must be given by a physician as deemed necessary after a checking the condition of an individual if he is fit enough to engage in a sexual activity.

It is not recommended to take more than 1 tablet of Cialis per day as the effectiveness of the drug could last for 36hours.

A number of cases have been reported of a sudden loss of vision. This happens because Cialis can alter the flow of blood to the optic nerve of the eye.

Contact your physician if the erection becomes suddenly painful or if it lasts for more than 4 hours as this could possibly damage the penis itself.

Before taking Cialis, check with your doctor especially if you previously have or is currently suffering from the following:

Heart disease

Circulation problem

Kidney diseases

Liver Diseases

Abnormal Blood Pressure

Problem with eyesight

Physical deformity of the penis

Heart Attack

Do not take Cialis if you are allergic to tadalafil or any of its ingredients. Heart attack or stroke could happen if Cialis is taken with any nitrate drugs as it could bring down the blood pressure immediately.

 

When the blood flow from the penis is reduced, the erectile dysfunction occurs. Cialis acts by increasing the blood flow to the penis, which allows having and maintaining an erection throughout intercourse.

Moreover, with Cialis you can plan your sex life, which contributes to an improvement of the relations between you and your partner.  Cialis naturally restores the erectile function by increasing the blood flow towards the penis.

This drug is taken only when needed, a few minutes before the sexual activity and may be taken with or without food. It is important to follow the doctor’s orders and should be taken as prescribed.

Important notice: Always consult with a doctor before starting treatment with Cialis. Check the leaflet inside for instructions.

Missed doses are considered missed. Leave it and take the next scheduled dosage. Do not overdose to compensate for the missed one. If you remember and still with enough time before the next one, take it, if not then proceed with your regular dosing schedule.

During unexpected and emergency situations, Call for help right away and notify your physician for such matter. You may contact a poison control center or have you taken to the nearest hospital for abrupt treatment; if the person is passed out and not breathing, call 911 or your local emergency response team.

Alcohol can amplify the side effects

Grapefruit juice or the fruit itself

Other drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction

 

The most common side effects include headaches and dizziness. Rarely, vertigo, hot flashes or difficulty breathing can occur. Back problems or muscular pains can also be experienced.

 

Other side effects include swelling of the eyelids or red eyes due to the excess of blood flow.

If you experience any of these side effects, please contact your physician.
Treatment with Cialis should be prescribed only after a thorough medical examination.

 

Patients using Cialis should be warned of the effects of the medicine while operating heavy machinery or car driving, such as vertigo and hot flashes. 

 

 

Drug interactions have the tendency to change the effectiveness of either medicine.

Organic nitrates should not be taken at least 48hours after the last dosage of Cialis. This will give the body enough time to eliminate the substance that can react with nitrates and cause life threatening hypotension.
