CIALIS ORIGINAL: Unraveling Its Features

Cialis (tadalafil) Original is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and also for the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

1. Mechanism of action

- It works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This enzyme normally breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which is involved in the relaxation of smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, tadalafil allows cGMP to accumulate, leading to increased blood flow into the penis, which helps in achieving and maintaining an erection.

2. Usage for erectile dysfunction

- When used for ED, Cialis Original can be effective for up to 36 hours. This is different from some other ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra), which typically has a shorter duration of action.

- It should be taken as directed, usually about 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity. However, it can be effective for sexual activity within this 36 - hour window.

3. Usage for BPH

- For BPH, Cialis helps to relax the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urinary flow and reducing symptoms such as difficulty in starting urination, weak urine stream, and the need to urinate frequently.

4. Precautions and side effects

- Precautions:

- It should not be used in combination with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

- People with certain heart conditions, liver or kidney problems may need special dosing or medical supervision.

- Side effects:

- Common side effects may include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose. In rare cases, it may cause more serious side effects such as vision or hearing problems.

It is important that Cialis Original is only obtained through a legitimate prescription from a healthcare provider.
