Cialis

Cialis (tadalafil) is one of the most popular erectile dysfunction drugs. It is the longest acting option with a duration of up to 36 hours.

Indications

The drug is indicated for the treatment of psychological and physiological impotence, erectile dysfunction, and weak erection.

Composition

The active substance of the drug is tadalafil, which helps achieve an erection and maintain it for a very long time. Each tablet contains 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, 60mg, or 80mg of tadalafil.

Additional ingredients are needed for a more comfortable interaction of the active component with the blood cells of the body. Secondary substances do not limit the effectiveness of tadalafil in any way.

Generic vs brand Cialis

When choosing products to increase potency, many people wonder what drugs to improve potency better — generics or brand-name. To answer this question, you need to understand what a generic is. This term refers to a medicine the name of which is not protected by patent law. A generic drug has exactly the same composition and effectiveness as the original drug. In fact, they are exactly the same drugs. They have only one significant difference – the price of generic medication is much lower.

How does it work?

The effect of Cialis on a male body will depend on the general condition of the man and the degree of sexual dysfunction. The stimulation effect in the drug is provided by tadalafil.

A man will experience the following positive changes about 30 minutes after taking the pill:

• increased sexual desire;
• a hard and long-lasting erection;
• increased performance.

With Cialis, an erection lasts longer than usual and this makes it possible to have several sexual intercourses. A man can initiate intercourses as long as the drug is active (up to 36 hours). This does not mean that a man will have a constant erection.

Note: The drug improves an erection only if a man is sexually aroused and desires intimacy. In the absence of sexual stimulation, the genital organ will remain at rest.

Contraindications

Contraindications for Cialis include:

• diabetes mellitus;
• gastric ulcer;
• renal and hepatic insufficiency;
• cardiac and vascular disorders;
• age under 18 years;
• age over 65 years;
• hypersensitivity to tadalafil.

How to take Cialis?

You should use the drug strictly according to the instructions. It is recommended that you consult a doctor before use.

The drug is taken orally, with water. It begins to work after 15 minutes. Do not combine the drug with fatty food and alcohol as such a combination will delay the effect of tadalafil.

The medication lasts for up to 36 hours, without the need to take an additional dose of the drug. The recommended daily dosage of Cialis is 20 mg (you can increase the dose only after consulting with a doctor).

Side effects

Any medicine can cause side effects and Cialis is not an exception. In rare cases, these pills can cause the following adverse reactions:

• mild headache;
• nasal congestion;
• increased photosensitivity;
• lower back pain;
• slight dizziness.

The listed side effects pass quite quickly and do not require medical intervention. People prone to priapism may have increased irritability. If an erection does not pass for three or more hours, you should consult a doctor.

Interaction with other drugs

Cialis cannot be combined with the following drugs:

• psychotropic drugs;
• antidepressants;
• remedies for schizophrenia;
• nitrates in any form.

Overdose

The recommended dose of tadalafil is 20 mg. This dose can effectively solve erectile problems in most men. Only if this dose does not work for you, you can increase the dose to 40 mg. Never exceed this dose. An overdose of tadalafil dramatically increases the likelihood of unwanted effects.

Which is better – Cialis or Viagra?

Viagra (sildenafil) has become a pioneer among drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This drug was introduced on the market by Pfizer in 1998. A few years later, scientists presented a new development to defeat impotence – Cialis. Today, it is one of the most popular drugs for men. Its action is no weaker than that of Viagra. The most important benefit of Cialis is its long duration. Sildenafil is able to improve potency for 4 hours, while tadalafil works for up to 36 hours.
