How Does It Work?
Tadalafil, the active component in Cialis, functions by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This inhibition enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection. It's important to note that sexual stimulation is required for Cialis to be effective; the medication does not induce an erection without arousal.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that Cialis is effective in treating ED in approximately 80% of men. The as-needed doses (10mg and 20mg) provide flexibility, with effects lasting up to 36 hours, allowing for spontaneity in sexual activity. The daily dose (2.5mg and 5mg) maintains a steady level of tadalafil in the body, enabling the ability to achieve an erection at any time without the need to time the medication.
For the as-needed doses, Cialis typically begins to work within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion. The daily dose may take up to 5 days of consistent use to reach its full effect. Food does not significantly impact the effectiveness of Cialis, so it can be taken with or without meals. However, excessive alcohol consumption may reduce its efficacy and increase the risk of side effects.
As-Needed Dosing:
Recommended Dose: Start with a 10mg tablet taken at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.
Adjustment: If the 10mg dose is insufficient, your doctor may recommend increasing it to 20mg.
Frequency: Do not take more than one dose in a 24-hour period.
Daily Dosing:
Recommended Dose: Take one 2.5mg or 5mg tablet at the same time each day, regardless of planned sexual activity.
Adjustment: Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your response and tolerability.
Side Effects of cialis
As with any medication, Cialis may cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:
- Headache
- Indigestion
- Back pain
- Muscle aches
- Facial flushing
- Nasal congestion
These side effects are usually mild and temporary, resolving within a few hours. If you experience severe or persistent adverse effects, such as a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours (priapism), sudden vision loss, or chest pain, seek immediate medical attention.
