Cialis, also known as tadalafil, treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. This allows for firmer, longer-lasting erections sufficient for sexual intercourse. It’s a prescription medication, meaning you need a doctor’s consultation before use.
Beyond Erectile Dysfunction
Cialis also treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition causing an enlarged prostate gland. The medication can improve urinary flow and reduce symptoms like frequent urination, particularly at night. Both ED and BPH often affect older men; Cialis can manage both simultaneously in some cases. However, always consult your physician about the right dosage and potential interactions with other medications.
Dosage and Considerations
Cialis comes in various dosages. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual health and medical history. Remember, Cialis is not a performance enhancer; it helps men with ED achieve and maintain an erection in response to sexual stimulation. Side effects, though uncommon, can include headache, flushing, and muscle aches. Discuss any concerns with your doctor before starting treatment.
