Erectile dysfunction is a ‘bad dream’ for every man. It can occur at any age. Usually, this problem is caused by stress, taking certain medications, acute and chronic diseases of the genitourinary, cardiovascular, endocrine and other systems of the body.
Cialis for Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction and Its Benefits
Today, there are effective drugs to improve erectile function. Each of the meds in this group has almost the same mechanism of action. Simultaneously, there are a number of differences between them. These differences might be taken into account when making the choice, along with the individual needs of each patient.
Cialis, which is based on the active ingredient tadalafil, has some important advantage over Viagra. The superiority of tadalafil is that its action begins within 30-45 minutes after ingestion and lasts up to 36 hours. Cialis can be used with food and small amounts of alcohol (like 1-2 glasses of wine). The product is available in the form of tablets with different dosages (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg).
How to Take Cialis?
If you have problems with erection, you should not immediately implement all the recommendations that you have ever heard from others. You should see your doctor for professional help. The healthcare expert will help establish the cause of the disease, assess its severity, suggest further course of the condition in your case, and choose the right treatment.
With this problem, you can contact a general practitioner, however, a urologist or an andrologist are usually more competent in solving such issues. On-demand treatment is usually started with a 10 mg dosage. The final selection of the dose that will be effective for a particular patient depends on the severity of erectile function impairment. Dose can be titrated in future depending on the reaction of the body, presence of the side effects, etc., but a patient will have to check this with his doctor. The maximum daily dose is 20 mg of tadalafil. To achieve the expected result, a patient should have a sexual desire.
Cialis for Use as Needed
When using as needed, the effect of the drug begins in 30-45 minutes. If you do not have sex often and feel insecure in your abilities, then to make these moments brighter, it will be enough to take Cialis before the intended sexual intercourse.
Cialis for Daily Use
If the doctor, after examining and interviewing the patient, concluded that as needed dosing would be ineffective for him, then he may suggest taking Cialis on a permanent basis.
In this case, 5 mg (sometimes 2.5 mg) of tadalafil is prescribed for a long period. With daily course treatment, the result is visible after a few days, since the active substance is gradually accumulated in the body and the organism gets used to it.
Clinical studies have confirmed that taking tadalafil 5 mg daily improves erection even for some time after the end of the course of treatment.
It is advisable to take the drug approximately at the same time every day and take into account all the information provided by the manufacturer in the instructions for use. If you experience severe and/or permanent side effect(s) while taking the drug, you should consult a doctor. You can take a chance and start taking tadalafil yourself, but it will be much better and true if a specialist advises/prescribes it.
