Cialis, also known as tadalafil, treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. This allows for a firmer erection suitable for sexual activity.
Beyond ED, Cialis also effectively manages benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition causing urinary problems in men. It relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urinary flow.
The recommended starting dose for ED is 10mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. For BPH, a daily 5mg dose is typically prescribed. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health.
Remember to discuss potential side effects with your doctor. Common side effects include headache, muscle aches, and flushing. Less common, but possible, are more serious side effects. Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking to avoid interactions.
