| Cialis, or Super Viagra, is used to treat erectile dysfunction, more commonly known as impotence. A man is impotent if he cannot achieve or sustain an erect penis for sexual activity. Cialis (tadalafil), is an oral treatment for erectile dysfunction.
The chemical designation is pyrazino[1,2:1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,4-dione, 6-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2,3,6,7,12,12a-hexahydro-2-methyl-(6R,12aR)-. It is a crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water and very slightly soluble in ethanol. Cialis is available as film-coated, almond-shaped tablets for oral administration. Each tablet contains 5, 10, or 20 mg of tadalafil and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide and triacetin.
According to a recent news release by Bayer/GSK, ninety percent (90%) of men reported improved erections when taking Cialis. Get to know Cialis, the first tablet for erectile dysfunction (ED) that gives you up to 36 hours to choose the moment that's right for you and your partner. Cialis is the latest innovation by pharmaceutical and drug manufacturer Eli Lilly in an attempt to capture the lucrative international anti-impotence market.
Recommendations
Take one Cialis tablet by mouth before sexual activity. In some patients, the ability to have sexual activity was improved 30 minutes after taking Cialis. The ability to have sexual activity was improved up to 36 hours after taking Cialis.
You and your doctor should consider this in deciding when you should take Cialis prior to sexual activity. Some form of sexual stimulation is needed for an erection to happen. Cialis may be taken with or without meals.
Precautions
Do not use Cialis more than once a day. Men who take too much Cialis may experience more side effects or may get severe back pain. If you take more Cialis than you should, tell your doctor.
Taking Cialis can cause your blood pressure to drop suddenly to an unsafe level if it is taken with certain other medicines. You could get dizzy, faint, or have a heart attack or stroke.
Do not take Cialis if you take any medicines called nitrates. Nitrates are commonly used to treat angina.
Medicines called nitrates include nitroglycerin that is found in tablets, sprays, ointments, pastes or patches. Nitrates can also be found in other medicines, such as isosorbide dinitrate or isosorbide mononitrate. Some recreational drugs called "poppers" also contain nitrates, such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate. Do not take Cialis if you are using these drugs. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if any of your medicines are nitrates. |
