Essential Facts about Cialis

Overview

Tadalafil, known by the trade name Cialis, is a pill used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the US especially for management of signs of non-malignant prostate enlargement, also called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and to treat both ED and BPH where these conditions coincide.

Dosage

Cialis was developed by ICOS, a biotech company. Later developments and preparation for international market were however, done by a joint venture called Lilly ICOS, involving Lilly Eli and Co. and ICOS Corporation. The pills are available in doses of 2.5 mg and 5 mg. There also are 10 mg and 20 mg tablets.

Most patients are safe taking 10 mg of Cialis as the most recommended starting dose for managing ED. This should be taken moments before the expected sexual activity. This dose can then be either, decreased to 5 mg or increased to 20 mg. Increase or decrease usually is dependent on individual tolerability and efficacy.
