Cialis 20mg is a higher dose than the standard starting dose. Begin with a lower dose unless your doctor specifically prescribes 20mg.
Recommended Intake: Most men start with 10mg. Your doctor will adjust the dosage based on your response and individual needs. A 20mg dose may be prescribed if 10mg proves insufficient.
Frequency: Cialis 20mg is usually taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. However, it can remain effective for up to 36 hours, sometimes longer, depending on individual factors.
Important Considerations: Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Don’t increase the dosage yourself. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions, especially heart problems, liver or kidney disease, or current medications.
Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Severe side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Consult your doctor if you experience any concerning symptoms.
Alcohol Interaction: Limit alcohol consumption while taking Cialis. Excessive alcohol can increase the risk of side effects and reduce the drug’s effectiveness.
Drug Interactions: Cialis can interact with some medications. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
