Cialis
Cialis is a medication that is used to restore and support erectile function in men. This is an effective remedy that increases potency and restores normal sex life even in severe cases.
What is this medicine?
Cialis is a PDE5 inhibitor. Its active substance is tadalafil. The drug has no effect in the absence of sexual stimulation. It improves erection and helps to complete sexual intercourse. The drug is effective for 36 hours. It starts working in 30 minutes and lasts for up to 36 hours. The medicine is available in the form of film-coated tablets in different dosages. Today, generic Cialis is extremely popular. It has a composition identical to the original, it is safe and effective in use. The product has been approved by doctors.
Who should not take Cialis?
Do not take this medicine if you:
- are a woman;
- are under the age of 18;
- have hypersensitivity to the drug;
- have penis deformity;
- have angina pectoris;
- have renal, cardiac, as well as a liver failure;
- take medications containing nitrates;
- take other medications that increase potency similar drugs in action.
How to use Cialis for best results?
Take the drug 30-40 minutes before the intended sexual intercourse.
Tadalafil dosage depends on the frequency of sexual activity. If the patient has sex more than twice a week, he can take a 5 mg pill only once a day, at the same time, regardless of meals. Based on the individual features of the body, the daily dose can be reduced to 2.5 mg. Men who have sex less than twice a week should take a 20 mg pill before the intended intercourse. The maximum recommended dose is 20 mg per day. Never exceed it.
What may interact with this drug?
Avoid taking Cialis with antiviral agents such as ritonavir, erythromycin, itraconazole since they can enhance the effect of tadalafil, which can lead to side effects, especially in the presence of concomitant diseases.
The concomitant use of Rifampicin with the drug reduces the concentration of tadalafil in the blood, as a result of which the effect on potency may not be so pronounced.
The simultaneous administration with antacids accelerates the absorption of the active substance in the blood, which should also be kept in mind when using generic Cialis.
To date, there are no data on the simultaneous use of Cialis and other similar drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. In this regard, as a precaution, this combination should be avoided and only one drug should be used to stimulate potency.
Tadalafil enhances the hypotensive effect of drugs, which include nitrates, so they cannot be used together. Since the drug causes temporary vasodilation, it can enhance the hypotensive effect of medications taken to lower blood pressure.
What should I watch for while taking this drug?
When using Cialis, it is not recommended to drink alcohol, especially in large quantities. Too much alcohol can increase side effects and cause heart palpitations, headaches, and dizziness. Since tadalafil and alcoholic drinks act in a similar way on the body (cause vasodilation), they should not be combined since blood pressure may decrease. If the patient is going to often combine two substances, he should consult with a doctor about this.
To avoid an overdose, you should understand how many tablets should be taken. An overdose can occur with a single use of the drug in a dose of more than 500 mg. When doses are exceeded, the same negative effects occur. The main symptoms are headaches and heartaches, drops in blood pressure, skin rashes and swelling of the face. If an overdose occurs, standard symptomatic treatment is prescribed. It is important to note that hemodialysis is not effective.
Generic Cialis has a soft and innovative formula, so it does not affect the ability to drive a vehicle.
When using Cialis, you’d better refuse fatty foods.
What are the side effects of taking Cialis?
Side effects caused by Cialis are mild. In most cases, they occur several hours after taking the drug. A man can experience headaches and slight dizziness, pain in some muscle groups and lower back, runny or stuffy nose, heart palpitations and fluctuations in blood pressure. The listed effects are usually weak and short-term. In very rare cases, men reported visual impairment, prolonged sexual arousal, swelling of the face and fainting. Most of the listed side effects can be intensified with an overdose.
