Cialis is an over the counter treatment for erectile dysfunction., that can sometimes be prescribed as part of a range of treatments for this condition, or purchased privately. It is a brand name for the drug Tadalafil which works by increasing the amount of blood flow to the appropriate area. However it should be noted that the pill will only work if there is also some sort of sexual arousal or stimulation. The pill will not create an erection by itself.
Dosage
Studies have found that the best way to use Cialis is to take one pill daily. This has been found to be more effective particularly after the 5th consecutive day, than single event driven dosage. In any case, the potency of the medication will be felt within 30 minutes to six hours after absorption of the pill. It can remain active for as long as 36 hours within the system, however the effects will diminish over that period.
It may be taken with or without food or liquids, and neither has any bearing on the efficacy or the absorption of the drug.
The contents are expelled as normal with other waste products predominantly in the urine and feces. In most cases, all traces of the drug from a single usage would be excreted within 18 hours of the end of its efficiency.

There are two versions of the pill; a lower dose of 10mg which is found to be successful in men not taking other medications, and a higher dosage of 20mg for which Doctor’s consultation should be sought.
Side Effects and Contraindications
There are a rather alarming number of potential side effects and the drug reacts with many medications that a man experiencing the condition may also experience. In particularly it is contra-indicated for any drug containing nitrates which includes most medications for heart conditions, blood disorders including high blood pressure, kidney disease and some lung related issues. Anyone taking these medications should consult their Doctor before using Cialis as their can be highly dangerous, toxic and even fatal results from the wrong combinations.
Women should not use Cialis and any pregnant woman should not handle the drug, or risk coming into contact with it as some studies indicate it can contribute to issues with the unborn fetus.
Other side effects can include headaches and migraine, temporary loss of sight, shortness of breath, dizziness and nausea.
In order to be thorough, it is strongly recommended that men experiencing erectile dysfunction should contact their health professional in the first instance before self-prescribing the medication. Tests for diabetes, heart conditions, renal and liver functions are all advisable before using this or any other Tadalafil based medication.
