Cialis 20mg

Cialis 20mg (tadalafil) is a medication used primarily to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

How It Works:

• Mechanism: Cialis belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection.

Dosage and Administration:

• Standard Dosage: The typical dose for Cialis 20 mg is taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. It should not be taken more than once a day.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, back pain, and muscle aches.
• Serious Side Effects: Sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Precautions:

• Heart Conditions: Those with cardiovascular conditions should consult a doctor before use, as Cialis can interact with medications like nitrates, leading to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Kidney or Liver Issues: Dose adjustments may be necessary for those with severe kidney or liver disease.

Interactions:

• Other Medications: Cialis can interact with other medications such as nitrates, blood pressure medications, and certain antifungals or antibiotics.
• Avoid Grapefruit: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase the level of tadalafil in the bloodstream, leading to increased risk of side effects.

Consultation:

• Before Use: Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting Cialis, especially to rule out contraindications and to determine the appropriate dosage.
