Tadalafil

Mode of Action:
Cialis (Tadalafil) is a PDE5 inhibitor that works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, allowing better blood flow to specific areas, particularly the penis, which helps men achieve and maintain an erection. It can also relax the bladder and prostate muscles to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as difficulty in urination.

How to Use It:
Cialis is typically taken orally, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. It can be used either as needed (before sexual activity) or once daily, depending on your treatment plan.

Recommended Dosage:

Erectile Dysfunction (ED): 10 mg before anticipated sexual activity, taken at least 30 minutes prior. Depending on effectiveness and tolerance, the dose can be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg.
Daily Use for ED and BPH: 2.5 mg to 5 mg taken once daily at the same time each day, regardless of sexual activity.
Do not exceed one dose per day. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

Directions:

Take the tablet with a glass of water.
If using Cialis on an as-needed basis, it should be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
Cialis can remain effective for up to 36 hours, which is why it’s often referred to as the "weekend pill."
Do not split or crush the tablet. Swallow it whole.

Cautions:

Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol when taking Cialis, as it may increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and fainting.
Do not use Cialis with other PDE5 inhibitors or medications used to treat ED without consulting your doctor.
Inform your doctor of any underlying heart conditions, kidney or liver diseases, or if you are taking nitrates for chest pain.
Not suitable for women or children.

Manage Side Effects:
Common side effects may include headaches, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, and flushing. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours. To manage mild side effects, stay hydrated and take rest. If severe side effects like chest pain, vision loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism) occur, seek immediate medical help.

Store Cialis in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Keep out of reach of children.
