Cialis

Cialis is an oral medication used to eliminate male sexual disorders associated with impotence. The medicine is intended to restore a normal sexual reaction and an erection mechanism in men.

Mechanism of action

The main active ingredient of the product is tadalafil, a PDE-5 inhibitor. Its action is aimed at reducing the tone of the smooth muscles of the arteries at the time of sexual arousal. Due to this, the blood flow to the penis increases, which causes a stable and hard erection.

One of the main advantages of Cialis is that an erection is achieved naturally. Tadalafil promotes the production of nitric oxide in the body, which has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles of the cavernous bodies. In this case, an involuntary erection is completely excluded since it is the result of natural arousal.

Instructions for use

The drug is available in the form of tablets that are taken orally. A distinctive feature of the drug is that it can be taken at any time, regardless of food intake. Take only one tablet per day. However, if you want to prolong sexual intercourse but you do not have pronounced problems with potency, take half a pill of the medicine.

To achieve the maximum effect, take the drug is about 1.5-2 hours before the planned intimacy. It is recommended to consult a doctor before taking the pills.

Contraindications

  • Individual intolerance and hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
  • Use of antidepressants, nitrates, active inhibitors, antibiotics;
  • Acute hepatic and renal failure;
  • Chronic cardiovascular disease.

Side effects

The drug is very well tolerated by the male body. However, if you do not follow the prescribed dosage or if you take the medicine incorrectly, you may experience adverse reactions:

  • redness of the face, abdomen, chest;
  • headache, dizziness;
  • nausea;
  • short-term violation of the organs of vision, hearing;
  • a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours.

Compatibility with alcohol

Cialis can be combined with alcohol. However, you should avoid excessive alcohol consumption when taking the pills, as this is fraught with harmful consequences. And it is not recommended to consume more than 200 ml of a strong drink.

Fatty foods can affect the pharmacodynamics of tablets, so it’s recommended to take the pills on an empty stomach.

Drug interactions

You should tell your doctor about all the drugs you are taking. Cialis can be taken with other drugs only if recommended by a doctor. Read more about drug interactions in the instructions for the drug.

Do not take Cialis with ant drugs containing nitrates or nitric oxide.

Overdose

Clinical studies did not find a correlation between increasing the dose of tadalafil and improving the state of erection, but an excess of the therapeutic dose increases the risk of unwanted effects significantly. There is no special treatment or antidote for overdose of tadalafil. First aid should be provided in accordance with the symptoms. Hemodialysis is not able to completely get rid of intoxication.

Precautions

Grapefruit juice is incompatible with the active ingredient of Cialis and other forms of tadalafil.

There are no data from controlled clinical trials on the safety and effectiveness of the drug in the following groups of patients:

  • patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance 30 ml/min);
  • patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Therefore, such patients should use the drug with caution.

Advantages

  • The duration of the drug. Only 1 tablet helps to achieve a strong erection for 36 hours! Neither Viagra, nor Levitra, nor any other drug can even be compared with Cialis in this indicator because this drug is an absolute record holder;
  • Strong therapeutic effect. This drug is used not only for a single effect but also for therapeutic purposes. That is, you use Cialis for medicinal purposes – and, over time, your erection improves significantly;
  • High speed of absorption. Tadalafil starts working 15-25 minutes faster than its competitors;
  • Affordable price – the cost of generic Cialis is much lower.
