Cialis treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping achieve and maintain an erection. It’s also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition causing enlarged prostate.
The active ingredient, tadalafil, works by relaxing muscles in the blood vessels. This effect lasts significantly longer than with other ED medications, offering a longer window of opportunity for sexual activity. The typical duration of effect is up to 36 hours.
Dosage varies depending on individual needs and should always be discussed with a doctor. Common dosages range from 5mg to 20mg, taken as needed, usually not more than once daily.
Before taking Cialis, inform your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have heart problems, liver or kidney disease, or take other medications. Side effects can include headache, flushing, muscle aches, and nasal congestion, though these are usually mild and temporary. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur.
Cialis is a prescription medication. Consult your physician to determine if Cialis is the right treatment option for you, and to discuss potential risks and benefits. They can provide personalized guidance on dosage and address any concerns you may have.
