Cialis 20mg is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
How it works: Cialis works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing increased blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated. This helps you achieve and maintain an erection.
Important Notes:
- Cialis does not work if you are not sexually stimulated.
- Cialis will not increase your sexual desire.
- It is important to discuss any underlying medical conditions or medications you are taking with your doctor before starting Cialis.
Common Uses:
- Treating erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Treating the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate gland
Dosage:
- The usual starting dose of Cialis for ED is 100mg, taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity.
- The dose may be increased to 20mg or decreased to 5mg based on your response and how well you tolerate the medication.
- Cialis can also be taken as a daily medication at a lower dose (2.5mg or 5mg) to maintain erectile function.
Side Effects: Common side effects of Cialis include headache, back pain, muscle aches, upset stomach, nasal congestion, and flushing.
Precautions:
- Do not take Cialis if you are also taking nitrates (often given for chest pain) as it can cause a serious drop in blood pressure.
- If you experience sudden vision loss or hearing loss after taking Cialis, stop taking the medication and contact your doctor immediately.
- Cialis may cause dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
