Cialis Explained

Cialis (tadalafil) is a drug that is used to increase the rate of blood flow to specific body parts as well as in relaxing the body muscles. It is basically used to treat enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy) and impotence (erectile dysfunction) symptoms. The following groups of people should never use this drug.

1. Cialis should not be used by persons who suffer from tadalafil allergic conditions.
2. People who are using a drug containing nitrate for heart problems or chest pain problems.

These include isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate and nitroglycerin. When this drug is taken with a nitrate medicine, a serious and a sudden blood pressure decrease can arise.

To ensure that you are safe and that you do not endanger yourself by taking Cialis, be sure to inform your doctor about the following:

• If you have ever suffered from coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems or heart disease.
• Whether you have recently suffered from a heart attack (recent meaning within the past ninety days).
• A recent (in the previous six months) history of congestive heart failure or of a stroke.
• Chest pain (angina) or low or high blood pressure.
• If you are on dialysis (kidney disease) or if you suffer from any liver disease.
• If you suffer from any blood cell disorder condition such as leukemia, multiple myeloma or sickle cell anemia.
• If you suffer from hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder.
• If you suffer from stomach ulcers.
• Inherited eye conditions (retinitis pigmentosa).
• If you are a victim of any physical deformity affecting the penis such as the Peyronie’s disease.
• In case you have been advised to refrain from sexual activity for health reasons.

Cialis Dosage.

Cialis should be taken only once every day. The directions on the prescription label should be strictly followed to prevent the occurrence of the side effects. You are not supposed to take Cialis in smaller or larger amounts or for a period that exceeds the recommended period. In case you are taking the drug for erectile dysfunction, dosage should be taken just before the beginning of sexual activity. You should not split or break the tablet but rather you should swallow it intact/whole. If you skip your daily dose, take the medicine as soon as you remember. If it is almost time to take your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dosage.
