After the huge success of Viagra, many pharmaceutical companies have joined the market for treatments of erectile dysfunction in men. And because of that, many new drugs have been produced and advertised. Among the new drugs for erectile dysfunction in men, Cialis is the most well known.

Other than their renown as drugs for male impotence, another similarity between Cialis and Viagra is that, both drugs were first used for treating other health conditions other than erectile dysfunction. But when Viagra was studied and sold for treating heart problems, Cialis was used to treat prostatic hyperplasia, a health problem related to enlarged prostates in men. And as a matter of fact, Cialis can be used for patients of both problems.
The main ingredient of Cialis is a substance called Tadalafil, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, which prevents the creation of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 in the body and thus can help treating erectile dysfunction. Phosphodiesterase type 5 tightens the blood vessels near the penis and thus prevents the blood flow into the penis when a man is under sexual stimulation. Therefore under the effect of Cialis, more blood will be pumped into the penis so a man can achieve and maintain a better and firmer erection. However, as stated above, a sexual stimulation is still required when using Cialis to get an erection.
The research and manufacture of Cialis is tightly controlled and regulated so the drug is generally seen as a safe product. But similar to all drugs, side effects always exist. First and foremost, men who already have an injury or deformity in their sexual organ have reported pain and discomfort when using Cialis. Also, those who have heart and blood pressure problems should be careful with Cialis because a sudden decrease in blood pressure may occur when blood is pumped into the penis. Less common are problems with men who have kidney and liver problems. Unexpected side effects can also happen if Cialis is used together with other medications. So, generally, if you are having health problems or are taking other medications, you have to ask your doctors first before purchasing and using Cialis.
Cialis can also cause problems if a man takes the drug in a higher than recommended dosage. The drug instruction, which is always inside the Cialis package, must be read and followed carefully. The most used and recommended dosage for Cialis is the 10mg dosage but a moderately higher dosage can be used if the normal dosage does not work. However, a medical advice from a doctor is always required before increasing the dosage.
Another thing to keep in mind is that a sexual stimulation is still required before taking Cialis. Cialis itself does not cause the erection. But Cialis should be taken about 1 hour before getting sexually stimulated, not right after getting stimulated. And to avoid the side effects Cialis, the drug should be taken with pure water. Alcohol should be avoided when taking Cialis. Alcohol is known to slow down the breaking process of Cialis inside the man’s body, it also reduces the firmness and duration of the erection and lessens the sexual enjoyment.
