CIALIS 100MG: All You Need to Know

Cialis (tadalafil) 100mg is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Here are some important points about it:

1. Mechanism of action

- It belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. PDE5 is an enzyme found in the smooth muscle cells of the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, Cialis helps to increase the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This, in turn, causes 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

Timing: It can be taken as needed, typically at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. However, some men may find that it can be effective for up to 36 hours (hence its sometimes - referred to as the "weekend pill").

Swallowing whole: The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not chewed or crushed.

3. Precautions and side effects

Precautions

- It should not be used by men who are taking nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) for chest pain, as the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

- Men with certain underlying health conditions, such as heart problems, liver or kidney disease, should use Cialis under medical supervision.

- 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. These side effects are usually mild and transient.

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

Cialis 100mg should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional who can assess an individual's overall health and determine the appropriate treatment for erectile dysfunction.
