Cialis Tadalafil

Cialis is a medication for the treatment of impotence in men. It is a prescription only medication that requires men with ED to first consult a doctor before they can start taking it. Cialis is currently available in most countries across the world and is approved for sale through both physical pharmacies and online websites.

It contains the active ingredient tadalafil, which is a PDE5 inhibitor. Approved in 2003, Cialis has been a path-breaking medication in terms of the speed of its effects and the length of time its effects remained. These led to Cialis gaining popularity very quickly.

Effects of Cialis

Effects of Cialis should be effectively discussed in two ways – the positive effects and the side effects. More often than not, people who wish to take a prescription medication for a condition are put off by the long list of possible side effects of that drug. Let us first discuss the positive effects of Cialis and then consider its side effects.

The tadalafil in Cialis acts by restricting the action of phosphodiesterase type 5, an enzyme that leads to reduction in blood flow in the vessels of the body. By doing so, tadalafil increases blood flow into the penis, leading to a better, longer lasting erection. This effect of Cialis comes about only when a man who has taken it is sexually stimulated. On its own, Cialis can not bring about an erection.

Coming to side effects, Cialis has passed through several clinical trials in which most of its side effects have been noted. Some of the most common side effects of Cialis include facial flushing, headache, stuffy nose, and upset stomach. On the rarer side, Cialis side effects might be in the form of blurred vision, bluish green tinge to objects, and increased sensitivity to light.

When and How to take it?

Traditional Cialis is not a regular dose regimen medicine. The 10mg and 20mg dosages of Cialis are meant to be taken only when you are expecting sexual activity. Take the prescribed dose of Cialis as advised by your doctor, with a full glass of water and at least 30 minutes before starting sexual activity.

If on the other hand your doctor has prescribed the new Cialis once daily dosages, which are in 2.5mg and 5mg variants, then you should take one tablet on daily basis, at the same time each day with a full glass of water.

Should I consult my Doctor before taking it?

Cialis is a prescription medication. You can not buy it without doing a proper consultation with your doctor and receiving a prescription. So before you take Cialis, you need to get a physical check-up done by your doctor, have the severity of your impotence condition diagnosed and a prescription for Cialis approved.

Additionally, you should ask you doctor about all possible side effects as well as contraindications of Cialis. This medication is not suitable for people taking nitrate drugs for their heart condition. If you are taking any such medications, make sure you inform your doctor about it in advance as it might require a change in medication.

Side Effects of Overdose

If you are taking original Cialis, chances of your overdosing are slim. Cialis has been tested for safety in up to 500mg doses on healthy patients, with no side effects seen except those in the regular doses. Even in the daily dose variant, healthy patients did not have any adverse effects up to 100mg dosages.

In case you do overdose on Cialis, you should immediately consult your doctor and seek medical attention.
