Cialis Tadalafil Impotence Medication

What is Cialis and how does it work?

Cialis is in a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which are used to treat cases of male impotence. It acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the penis relax and widen, which allows for more blood to enter. As a result, you gain erections faster and easier. As with all PDE - 5 inhibitor drugs, it only works when you are sexually aroused and stimulated!

The biggest advantage that Cialis has over Viagra is that it has a longer lasting effect on the body than Viagra.  Cialis remains active in the blood stream for up to 36 hours and arousal can take place within the 36 hour period.  Viagra has a window of only 4 hours making it unpractical in some ways.

Cialis side effects? 

Men report less side effects with Cialis than with Viagra, making it a viable alternative for you if you suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease.

The most commonly reported adverse events were headache, upset stomach, nasal congestion, backache, muscle ache, dizziness, and flushing. The adverse events reported were transient and generally mild or moderate. As with other PDE5 inhibitors, the use of it is contraindicated in patients who are taking nitrates. It should not be taken by patients with certain heart diseases for whom sexual activity itself is not advisable. In clinical testing most men were administered one 10 mg or 20 mg tablet per day.

Cialis has shown to act faster than Viagra, so if you are in a hurry or under "pressure" to perform or that romantic moment turns more heated, Cialis will "get you there" faster.

How well does it work?

The EU's executive Commission gave its approval after more than 60 studies were carried out among 4,000 people to test it's safety and effectiveness, including a final Phase III trial on more than 1,000 men. The trials show the drug "achieves its effect in as little as 16 minutes and lasts between 24 and 36 hours," according to a report in the British journal New Scientist. It is prescribed at both 10 and 20 mg Cialis doses. The labels in each of these markets indicate that the product should be taken prior to anticipated sexual activity and without regard to food. Just like Viagra, sexual stimulation is needed for it to work.

Cialis is not dependent on food intake as is Viagra.  You can take a capsule now and it remains effective for up to 36 hours whether you have eaten or not.
