CIALIS USES:
Cialis is in a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which are used
to treat cases of male impotence (erectile dysfunction).
HOW TO TAKE CIALIS:
Cialis comes in a 20 mg dose and can be taken with or without food. Beginning
in 30 minutes and for up to 36 hours after taking the pill, Cialis can
help you get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. You results
may vary. Do not take Cialis more than once every 24 hours. Do not take
Cialis more often than your doctor recommends.
CIALIS SIDE EFFECTS:
Cialis is not for everyone. Men taking any form of nitrates should not
take Cialis, or any prescription erectile dysfunction pill. This combination
could cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. If you have chest pain,
or other heart-related symptoms during sex, seek immediate medical help.
In clinical trials the most common side effects with Cialis were headache,
upset stomach, backache, muscle ache, and flushing. Side effects were
generally mild or moderate, didn't last long, and decreased in frequency
with continued use. In Cialis clinical trials most men weren't troubled
by them enough to stop taking Cialis. Please see related Cialis information
below.
CIALIS PRECAUTIONS:
Can I take Cialis if I am also taking nitrates? No, you should not take
Cialis if you're taking nitrates because of an unsafe drop in blood pressure
could occur. Be sure to talk with your doctor before taking Cialis to
ensure that your heart is healthy enough to handle the extra strain of
having sex.
Men taking any form of nitrates should not take Cialis. If you take Cialis
while taking any nitrate medicine or recreational drug containing nitrates,
your blood pressure could suddenly drop to an unsafe level. Many prescription
medicines that are used to treat chest pains caused by heart disease contain
nitrates. These medicines include nitroglycerin (sprays, ointments, skin
patches or pastes and pills that are swallowed or dissolve in the mouth)
or isosorbide mononitrate and dinitrate (pills that are swallowed, chewed
or dissolved in the mouth). Certain recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate
or nitrite ("poppers") also contain nitrates. This list is not
totally inclusive, so it is important you talk with your doctor or pharmacist
if you have any questions about what nitrates are, or if any of your medications
may contain them.
What if I am taking other medications? Like with other prescription medications,
you should always consult your doctor or health care professional about
any other medications you are currently taking before taking Cialis.
Are there any food restrictions with Cialis? No. Cialis can be taken without
regard to food intake.
Will I get erections when I don't want them? No, sexual stimulation is
required in order for Cialis to work.
What should men know about ED and how can Cialis help? At various times
in every man's life he can experience difficulty with obtaining and maintaining
an erection. ED usually occurs when blood flow to the penis is diminished.
This kind of condition can be caused by a wide variety of other health
and medical conditions as well as some medications prescribed to treat
them. Cialis® treats ED by allowing more blood to flow into the penis,
leading to an erection with sexual stimulation.
CIALIS DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Tell your doctor of all over-the-counter and prescription medication you
may use. Do not start or stop Cialis or any medicine without doctor or
pharmacist approval.

Cialis dose to catch up.
