CIALIS (Tadalafil) is the newest popular prescription for the condition
known as ED (Erectile Dysfunction). Cialis is used to treat erectile dysfunction
(impotence; inability to get or keep an erection) in men. Cialis is in
a class of medications called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. It works
by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This increased
blood flow can cause an erection. Cialis does not cure erectile dysfunction
or increase sexual desire. Cialis does not prevent pregnancy or the spread
of sexually transmitted diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Cialis ®
(TADALAFIL - ORAL)
Uses
Cialis is in a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which are
used to treat cases of male impotence. Cialis is a fairly new impotence
drug and has only just come onto the market. The UK is the first country
in the world to be able to offer Cialis to its residents.
How to take Cialis
Take Cialis exactly as your doctor prescribes. Cialis comes in different
doses (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg). For most men, the recommended starting
dose is 10 mg. Cialis should be taken no more than once a day. Some men
can only take a low dose of Cialis because of medical conditions or medicines
they take. Your doctor will prescribe the dose that is right for you.
Cialis Side effects
The early tests seem to indicate that Cialis doesn't affect blood pressure
as much as other ED drugs. The clinical trials showed that statistically
there was no significant difference in cardiovascular side effects from
the placebo.
Cialis Precautions
If you have kidney problems, your doctor may start you on a lower dose
of Cialis. If you have kidney or liver problems or you are taking certain
medications, your doctor may limit your highest dose of Cialis to 10 mg
and may also limit you to one tablet in 48 hours (2 days) or one tablet
in 72 hours (3 days).
Cialis Drug interactions
Consult your doctor about all nonprescription and prescription medication
you may use, especially any nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide
dinitrate), nitroprusside (any "nitric oxide donor" medicines),
cimetidine, erythromycin, azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole),
mibefradil, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin) or high blood pressure medicines.
Notes
According to clinical studies data on Cialis(TM) (tadalafil), men with
ED reported a statistically significant improvement in successful intercourse
attempts at 24 and 36 hours after taking the drug, compared to placebo.
Other new findings including a summary of cardiovascular safety data showed
no increased incidence of cardiovascular events during clinical studies.
In all studies, compared with placebo, use of Cialis ® demonstrated consistent
and statistically significant improvement and the treatment effect did
not diminish over time.
Miss dose
Not applicable.
Cialis Storage
Store Cialis at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees
C) away from light and moisture. Keep Cialis out of the reach of children.
