There are many medications for male impotence on the market nowadays. Besides the famous Viagra, Cialis is another great choice for men who suffer erectile dysfunction. Manufactured and sold in USA, Cialis tablets are almond-shaped with a yellow coat.
Tadalafil is the main active component of Cialis. Besides the use for treating erectile dysfunction, tadalafil is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafil treats erectile dysfunction by enlarging the blood vessels near the male genital so more blood will be pumped into the penis to create a stronger and firmer erection. One thing should be aware is that tadalafil does not directly create the erection, a sexual stimulation is still required when a man takes Cialis to get an erection. The erection under the effects of Cialis will end naturally after ejaculation occurs.
Tadalafil is generally considered as a safe product for all its usages. The FDA has approved it for treating erectile dysfunction in 2003, and for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension in 2009. And finally, in 2011, it was also approved for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. During both clinical trials and real world use by millions of men, there are still reports of side effects of Cialis. But these side effects are not fatal nor dangerous. However, if you are planning to buy and use Cialis, you should still pay attention to the side effects of Cialis.
Running nose, mild headache and dizziness, acid flux and burping … are the most common side effects of Cialis. These symptoms happen because of the enlarged blood vessels in the body under the effects of Cialis. These symptoms will occur around 15 minutes after taking Cialis and will naturally disappear after a few hours. A less common, but should be more concerned, side effect of Cialis is a transient drop in blood pressure due to a higher amount of blood is pumped into the penis. Normally, this is nothing to worry about but if a man has history of heart problems or is taking other drugs that can also cause low blood pressure then this could be quite dangerous. So if you have any other medical condition or are taking any other drug, you should ask your doctor’s opinion first before taking Cialis. One last thing to worry about Cialis is that, if a man has injury or deformity in his penis, the stronger erection caused by Cialis can result to pain and discomfort.
The most common dosage of Cialis is 10mg of tadalafil. The lower dosages of 2.5 mg and 5mg can also be used but not as effective. The higher dosage of 20mg can sometimes be used but you should be very careful with it. Overdosing tadalafil can lead to a very strong and hard erection which is very painful. It is recommended to take Cialis with a full glass of water about 1 hour before having sexual intercourse. The high amount of water will boosts the absorption rate of tadalafil in the body. Alcohol should be avoided when using Cialis because alcohol will reduce both the absorption rate and the efficacy of tadalafil.
