Sublingual Cialis absorption relies on the rich blood supply under your tongue. The medication dissolves quickly, allowing for faster entry into your bloodstream compared to oral ingestion. This bypasses the first-pass metabolism in the liver, leading to higher bioavailability.
Factors Affecting Absorption
Several factors influence how quickly and completely Cialis absorbs sublingually. These include the formulation of the medication (some dissolve faster than others), individual variations in blood flow, and even the presence of food or drink in your mouth. Avoid consuming anything immediately before or after taking sublingual Cialis to optimize absorption. A dry mouth can also slightly slow down the process.
While sublingual administration offers a quicker onset of action, it’s important to remember that the overall duration of effect remains similar to oral Cialis. The speed of onset is the primary difference. Always consult your doctor before using Cialis or changing your dosage.
