CIALIS 10mg: All You Need to Know

Cialis (tadalafil) 10mg is a medication mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Here are some key points about it:

1. Mechanism of action

- Tadalafil works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This enzyme is responsible for breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle cells of the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, tadalafil increases the levels of cGMP, which leads to relaxation of the smooth muscles in the penile arteries and allows increased blood flow into the penis, facilitating an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

2. Usage and administration

When to take: It is typically taken as needed, preferably about 30 minutes to 12 hours before sexual activity. However, some men may find that it can be effective for up to 36 hours after taking the dose, which is why Cialis is sometimes referred to as the "weekend pill."

How to take: The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and can be taken with or without food.

3. Precautions and side effects

Precautions

- It should not be used in combination with nitrates (such as nitroglycerin) or nitric oxide donors, as this can cause a significant and potentially dangerous drop in blood pressure.

- Men with certain underlying health conditions, such as heart disease, liver or kidney problems, or low blood pressure, should use Cialis under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

- It is not intended for use by women or children.

Side effects

- Common side effects may include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose.

- In rare cases, more serious side effects such as sudden vision loss or hearing problems may occur. If any sudden vision or hearing changes are noticed, medical attention should be sought immediately.
