Instructions for use of Cialis

If you chose Cialis as the main drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, carefully read the instructions for its use. There is an official manufacturer's manual that you can use for your first acquaintance. However, we strongly recommend that you get qualified advice from a doctor or pharmacist. Only a doctor will be able to assess your general health and prescribe the correct treatment regimen for ED.

As you know, the therapeutic effect of Cialis lasts up to 36 hours. Therefore, unlike Viagra and its analogues, it has its own unique features. For example, you don't need to take a pill every 24 hours. The action of one tablet can last for almost two days, subject to certain recommendations. Such a nuance will help you to significantly save money, without losing the therapeutic effect.

A few basic rules on how to take Cialis:

- Take pills whole.

Do not chew them, crush them, or mix them with food. Each tablet is coated with an integral membrane that protects against the effects of gastric juice. Tadalafil is absorbed in the intestines. If the active ingredients enter the stomach and the tablet shell does not protect them, some of them will be destroyed. Accordingly, the bioavailability in the blood will be lower and the effect will decrease over time.

- Take the tablets with plain water.

Do not use grapefruit or grape juice instead of water. You can drink milk if you don't have water on hand. But water will help to quickly pass the stomach and enter the intestines and will reduce the dissolution of the tablet shell under the influence of gastric juice.

- The best time to take is on an empty stomach or 3 hours after a meal.

Fatty foods insignificantly slows down or does not slow down the absorption of Tadalafil in the intestines. But still, if your gastrointestinal tract is full, the effect will come in 40-45 minutes, and not in 30 minutes, as expected. To speed up the onset of the effect, take the pill when your digestive tract is empty. If you have good permeability, then you can feel the first effect of a rush of blood to the penis even after 20-25 minutes.

- Dosing time doesn't matter.

Unlike many other medications, you do not need to take Cialis for men at a specific time to achieve the best effect. It all depends on the dose you take. If you use the minimum dosage for daily use, then it is better to take the pills approximately at the same time. If you use the medicine as needed, only to achieve an erection more quickly, take Cialis whenever you want.

Choosing dosages for all categories of men

Choosing a dosage is important not only for the effectiveness of the drug, but also for safety. Cialis has one big advantage over analogues - a wide range of dosages for each category of men.

• 5 mg and 5 mg Tadalafil - ideal for men over the age of 65. These are the lowest doses that do not put stress on the heart muscle, are easily tolerated and give tangible results. These small portions of Cialis are best taken daily, on an ongoing basis, as a supportive agent.
• 10 mg is the optimal dose for beginners under 65 years of age. Any doctor will tell you to start your ED treatment with this dosage.
• 20 mg of Tadalafil is suitable for those men who have already taken Cialis or PDE5 inhibitors before and have an experience of their use. With this dose, you will already feel a more pronounced therapeutic effect. However, it is not recommended to start ED treatment right away with this dosage. The maximum age for taking 20 mg is 60 years.

How to avoid side effects during Cialis use

There are a few more recommendations to consider when taking Cialis, including:

• Tablets should not be taken with grapefruit juice.
• Men over 65 should not take the drug without a doctor's approval.
• In case of diseases of the cardiovascular system, it is imperative to consult with a cardiologist who should issue a prescription, which contains individual recommendations.
• If you take nitrates (nitroglycerin or other substances), you should not use Cialis. When they interact, severe side effects are possible because of severe hypotension.
• Do not take more than one Cialis pill per day. Taking two or more pills over a 24-hour period puts stress on the heart, resulting in hypertension or tachycardia.

The advantage of Cialis over Viagra and other PDE5 inhibitors is that neither age nor chronic diseases can prevent the use of this drug. Of course, its use also has certain limitations. Though, with the correct use of the medication in compliance with the instructions, you will notice that it is an absolutely safe and 100% effective drug. After the first use, it will be able to qualitatively improve your intimate life.
