CIALIS 20 Milligram: All You Need to Know

Cialis (tadalafil) is a medication often used to treat erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

1. How it works

- Tadalafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase - 5 (PDE5). This enzyme breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle cells of the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, tadalafil allows cGMP to accumulate, which leads to relaxation of the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis, increasing blood flow and facilitating penile erection in response to sexual stimulation.

2. Usage and dosage considerations

- The 20 - milligram dose of Cialis is one of the available strengths.

- It is typically taken orally, and the effects can last for up to 36 hours. However, it should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

- Precautions:

- It may interact with other medications, such as nitrates (used for heart problems like angina), which can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

- Side effects can include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose.

It is important that Cialis is obtained through a legal prescription and used as directed by a medical professional.
