Cialis, containing tadalafil, primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection with sexual stimulation. The effects can last up to 36 hours, significantly longer than some other ED medications.
Beyond ED, Cialis also treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition causing enlarged prostate. It relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urinary flow. This dual action makes it beneficial for men experiencing both ED and BPH symptoms.
Dosage varies depending on individual needs and the condition being treated. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency, considering factors like overall health and potential interactions with other medications. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and muscle aches. These are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Discuss any concerns with your doctor before starting Cialis.
Consult your physician before using Cialis, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or are taking nitrates. Cialis interacts with several medications; informing your doctor about all your medications ensures safe usage.
