What is CIALIS and How is it Used?

CIALIS is a medication for men experiencing erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection that is firm enough for sexual activities.

CIALIS is part of a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. It enhances erectile function by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow when sexual stimulation occurs. It is important to understand that CIALIS will not be effective if erectile dysfunction is not present.

It's crucial to remember that CIALIS requires sexual stimulation to work. Both partners should engage in foreplay, just as they would without erectile dysfunction medication.

Important Considerations Before Using CIALIS

Do not use CIALIS if:

Take special precautions when using CIALIS:

Be aware that sexual activity can pose risks to those with heart conditions, as it can place additional stress on the heart. If you have heart issues, consult your doctor beforehand.

Here are some additional conditions that may make CIALIS unsuitable for you, and should be discussed with your doctor:

The effectiveness of CIALIS in patients who have had pelvic surgery or a radical prostatectomy that spares nerves is not well established.

If you experience sudden vision changes or loss, stop taking CIALIS and contact your doctor immediately.

CIALIS is not intended for use in women or adolescents under 18.

Interactions with Other Medications

Inform your doctor of any other medications you are currently taking or have recently taken, including over-the-counter drugs, as they may interact with CIALIS. This is especially crucial if you are on nitrates, as CIALIS should not be taken with them.

If you are on alpha-blockers for high blood pressure or prostate enlargement, let your doctor know. Additionally, medications that inhibit CYP3A4 (like ketoconazole or protease inhibitors for HIV) may increase the likelihood of side effects.

Follow your doctor's advice regarding the use of CIALIS with other medications and refrain from combined use with other erectile dysfunction treatments.

Taking CIALIS with Food and Alcohol

CIALIS can be taken with or without food. Be cautious about alcohol consumption, as it may impair your ability to achieve an erection and can potentially lower your blood pressure. If you've taken or plan to take CIALIS, limit alcohol intake to avoid increased dizziness.

Dosage Instructions

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding CIALIS usage. If unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

The suggested initial dose is one 10 mg tablet taken before sexual activity. If this dose is insufficient, your doctor may adjust it to 20 mg. CIALIS should be taken orally with water and is effective for up to 36 hours after taking it, though sexual stimulation is necessary for it to work.

Do not take CIALIS more than once within 24 hours. CIALIS 10 mg and 20 mg are designed for use prior to expected sexual activity and are not meant for continuous daily usage.

Overdose

If you take more CIALIS than recommended, inform your doctor.

For any additional queries regarding this medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Possible Side Effects

Like any medication, CIALIS can have side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Generally, these side effects are mild to moderate.

In this guide: - "Very common" side effects are those occurring in at least 1 in 10 patients. - "Common" side effects occur in more than 1 in 100 but fewer than 1 in 10 patients. - "Uncommon" refers to effects seen in more than 1 in 1,000 but fewer than 1 in 100 patients. - "Rare" effects impact more than 1 in 10,000 but fewer than 1 in 1,000 patients.

: headache.

: back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, dizziness, and indigestion.

: allergic reactions (such as rashes), abdominal pain, reflux, blurred vision, eye pain, excessive sweating, a pounding sensation in the chest, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, and chest pain. In the case of chest pain during or after sexual activity, do not use nitrates and seek medical attention immediately.

: fainting, seizures, transient memory loss, swelling of the eyelids, red eyes, sudden hearing loss, hives, and nosebleeds.

Prolonged and possibly painful erections lasting longer than 4 hours are rare but require immediate medical assistance.

Although rare instances of heart attack or stroke have been reported among men taking CIALIS, most had pre-existing heart conditions, making it unclear if the medication was a contributing factor.

Some men have reported sudden, temporary, or permanent vision issues after using CIALIS.

Additional side effects not seen in clinical trials include migraine, facial swelling, serious skin rashes, blood flow issues to the eyes, irregular heartbeat, angina, and rare occurrences of sudden cardiac death and hearing loss.

Studies indicate potential fertility impairment in animals, but evidence suggests this is unlikely in humans, although some men experienced reduced sperm concentration.

If you notice any severe side effects or any not discussed in this guide, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Storage Instructions

Keep CIALIS out of reach of children. Do not use the medication after the expiration date on the packaging. Store it in the original container to protect it from moisture, and do not exceed temperatures of 30°C. Dispose of unused medicines responsibly, not through wastewater or household waste, and consult your pharmacist for disposal options to help protect the environment.
