The recommended starting dose of Cialis for erectile dysfunction is 10 mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. This dose works well for many men. However, individual responses vary.
If 10 mg is not effective, your doctor may increase the dose to 20 mg. This is the maximum recommended dose. Don’t exceed this amount without consulting your physician.
Important Note: Cialis effects can last for up to 36 hours, so it’s crucial to understand the duration of action before taking additional doses.
Titration: The process of adjusting the dose to find the optimal level is called titration. Your doctor will guide you through this process based on your response to treatment and any potential side effects.
If side effects are bothersome at a higher dose, a lower dose (5mg or even less, depending on your doctor’s recommendation) may be more suitable. Always discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before making changes to your dosage.
Remember, open communication with your doctor is key to achieving the best possible outcome.
