Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Cialis dosages range from 2.5mg to 20mg, typically taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. The effect can last up to 36 hours. Levitra dosages range from 5mg to 20mg, also taken as needed, about 60 minutes before sexual activity. Its effects generally last for 4-5 hours.
Take Cialis or Levitra with a glass of water. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with both medications and alter their effectiveness. Dietary fat can slightly delay absorption, so a light meal is recommended.
Don’t take more than one dose of either medication in 24 hours. If you experience side effects like headaches, flushing, or nasal congestion, discuss them with your doctor. They may adjust your dosage or suggest alternative treatment.
Regular use of Cialis is sometimes prescribed for daily treatment of erectile dysfunction, at lower dosages. This maintains a consistent level of the medication in your system. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your medical history.
Alcohol can intensify side effects. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Cialis or Levitra. If you have heart problems or other underlying health conditions, it’s crucial to inform your doctor before taking either medication.
Always store Cialis and Levitra as directed on the label, away from moisture and heat. Never share your medication with others.
