Cialis- effective when you consult a doctor
Introduction
Cialis-the new age prescription drug from Lilly Icos
has created wonders in curing erectile dysfunction in
men. There are millions of men who have received benefits
at great length in curing ED and depression associated
with their sex lives.
How does Cialis work?
When a man is sexually stimulated, his body’s
normal physical response increases blood flow to his
penis. This results in an erection. Cialis helps increase
blood flow to the penis and may help men with ED get
and keep an erection satisfactory for sexual activity.
Once a man has completed sexual activity, blood flow
to his penis decreases, and his erection goes away.
Cialis helps to sustain an erection up to 36 hours from
the time of the intake of this drug. However, Cialis
has shown to be effective in men over 18 years of age
but not for men having certain health disorders like
heart problems, kidney problems, liver disorders, and
so on. However, Cialis has brought respite to those
suffering from ED due to diabetes or those who have
undergone prostatectomy.
Do not take Cialis if you:
1. Take any medicines called nitrates- Nitrates are
used to treat angina. Angina is a symptom of heart disease
and can cause pain in your chest, jaw, or down under
your arm.Medicines called nitrates include nitroglycerin
that is found in tablets, sprays, ointments, pastes,
or patches. Nitrates can also be found in other medicines
such as isosorbide dinitrate or isosorbide mononitrate.
Some recreational drugs called “poppers”
also contain nitrates, such as amyl nitrite and butyl
nitrite. Do not use Cialis if you are using these drugs.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if
any of your medicines are nitrates.
2. You have been told by your healthcare provider to
not have sexual activity because of health problems-Sexual
activity can put an extra strain on your heart, especially
if your heart is already weak from a heart attack or
heart disease.
3. Are allergic to Cialis or any of its ingredient-
The active ingredient in CIALIS is called tadalafil.
See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients.
4. Are on other medicines-Besides nitrates, there could
be other medicines that could equally prove harmful
if you consider taking Cialis along with them. These
are alpha blockers taken to control high blood pressure
or to treat prostate problems. If Cialis is taken along
with alpha blockers, your blood pressure could suddenly
drop and you could get dizzy or faint. There are other
medicines as well like ritonavir (Norvir), or indinavir
(Crixivan), ketoconazole or itraconazole (such as Nizoral
or Sporanox), or erythromycin, etc.
Conclusion
You and your doctor should consider this in deciding
when you should take Cialis prior to sexual activity.
Some form of sexual stimulation is needed for an erection
to happen with Cialis. Cialis
may be taken with or without meals. Do not change your
dose of Cialis without talking to your doctor. Your
doctor may lower your dose or raise your dose, depending
on how your body reacts to Cialis.
