Cialis Information:

Cialis is an oral drug in the category of phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and is used for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (also known as Impotence). What makes it better than other drugs is that it has a longer lasting effect and its absorption is quicker than the others. The time it requires to take effect is as little as 17 to 20 minutes, and the effect lasts for as long as 36 hours. Another positive aspect of the drug is that it does not lose its effect if taken with a meal, or even alcohol. However, it is recommended not to take it with alcohol because it has the potential of stimulating the side effects of the drug.

Cialis is available in 10mg and 20mg pills. The dosage of the drug should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The duration for taking Cialis should be as instructed in the prescription. It can either be taken daily, or before sexual activity, depending on what has been prescribed. If it is being taken daily, the prescribed dosage is usually low. The drug should be taken with a glass of water and only once a day. However, if a dose is missed, extra pills should not be taken to make up for the missed one. As Cialis is taken when needed, there is no particular dosage schedule that has to be strictly followed. While obtaining a prescription for Cialis, it is important to give the doctor your complete medical history and any other problems you have. The doctor should also be informed about any kind of allergies you might have. Cialis should not be used if you are using a nitrate drug or any other drug from treating impotence.

Cialis helps in restoring erectile function when sexual stimulation occurs. Cialis is a faster performing drug than the other drugs. It also has comparatively less side effects. In many clinical trials, the drug has proved to be the best performing one with 81% to 85% positive results.

Sometimes, a reaction can occur to Cialis. Allergic reactions can be an indication of the side effects of the drug. Cialis can reduce the blood flow to the optical nerve, hence causing sudden loss of sight. Other side effects of the drug can be chest pain, convulsions, light-headed feelings, nausea, swelling in the hands and feet, sweating, redness of the face, chest or neck, diarrhea, headache, muscle pain and back pain.
