Cialis and its effects on health of men
Introduction
With the increase of erectile dysfunction or male impotency
today, PDE 5 inhibitor drugs like Cialis and Viagra
have taken a front seat in the medical world. There
have both success stories and nightmares told about
these ED drugs; much to our dismay, not all have been
educated on the way these prescription dugs are administered
and prescribed.
Cialis not for all
Cialis helps men suffering from erectile
dysfunction achieve and sustain an erection up to
36 hours. This information is especially pertinent to
those couples who have been suffering from erectile
dysfunction for a long, long time. But Cialis is not
for everyone. Let’s check out why and when Cialis
can prove harmful to men’s health.
Cialis can cause your blood pressure to drop suddenly
to an unsafe level if it is taken with certain other
medicines. You could get dizzy, faint, or have a heart
attack or stroke.
Do not take Cialis if you:
- Take any medicines called “nitrates.”
- Use recreational drugs called “poppers”
like amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite.
Tell all your healthcare providers that you take Cialis.
If you need emergency medical care for a heart problem,
it will be important for your healthcare provider to
know when you last took Cialis.
After taking a single tablet, some of the active ingredient
of CIALIS remains in your body for more than 2 days.
The active ingredient can remain longer if you have
problems with your kidneys or liver, or you are taking
certain other medications
Myths about Cialis
Let’s clarify a few myths about Cialis. Cialis
does not:
- Cure ED
- Increase a man’s sexual desire
- Protect a man or his partner from sexually transmitted
diseases, including HIV. Speak to your doctor about
ways to guard against sexually transmitted diseases.
- Serve as a male form of birth control
- Not to forget, last but not the least, Cialis is only
for men with ED–not for women or children. CIALIS
must be used only under a doctor’s care.
Here are a few points to discuss with your doctor before
you pop in Cialis:
- Have heart problems such as angina, heart failure,
irregular heartbeats, or have had a heart attack. Ask
your doctor if it is safe for you to have sexual activity.
- Have low blood pressure or have high blood pressure
that is not controlled
- Have had a stroke
- Have liver problems
- Have kidney problems or require dialysis
- Have retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic (runs in
families) eye disease
- Have ever had severe vision loss, including a condition
called Naion 3
- Have stomach ulcers
- Have a bleeding problem
- Have a deformed penis shape or Peyronie’s disease
- Have had an erection that lasted more than 4 hours
- Have blood cell problems such as sickle cell anemia,
multiple myeloma, or leukemia
Conclusion
To sum it all, tell your doctor about all your medication
and medical history, inclusive of vitamins and herbal
supplements. This is only because Cialis
and other medicines may affect each other.
