Cialis Dosage
Cialis (also referred to as Tadanafil) is a kind of drug meant for treatment of male impotence, and it is available in almond-shaped tablets, which may contain 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg of Tadanafil. This medicine has proven more efficacious than Viagra. Besides, it tends to be less likely to cause side effects.
Along with Viagra and Levitra, Cialis belongs to the group of so called PDE-5 inhibitors, as its effect consists in blocking phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5), which keeps penile muscles strained and hampers blood flow to the corpus cavernosum. The looser the muscles, the more blood gets there and the better the erection is.
Dosage depends on individual tolerability and the severity of dysfunction. In any event, the dose should be defined by aid of a qualified physician. As a rule, Cialis is taken 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, as it starts working about an hour after taking. The most recommended dose to start with is 5mg. Dosage can be changed according to the degree of efficacy: it can be increased in a case whereby it does not work sufficiently, or cut down should any side effects occur. Cialis must not be administered more than once per day.
Dosage should be outlined more thoroughly if you have chronic diseases or have undergone treatment with other medications. Dose adjustment will be required if you have a moderate or case of renal insufficiency, with the recommended dose amounting to 5mg per 48 hours, if used occasionally. With daily administration, no dose adjustment is required. In severe cases, 2.5mg to 5mg dose is recommended for occasional use, and no amount of medicine should be used if you have a severe case of renal insufficiency. Hepatic impairment also requires cautious use of PDE-5 inhibitors. Cialis is not recommended for men suffering severe hepatic impairment.
Only a limited amount of the drug, or no amount of it, is recommended for people experiencing anginal pain or other cardiovascular disorders. Dosage is defined in accordance with the severity of the illness, and only under a doctor's supervision. Cialis is not recommended for those who have symptoms of heart insufficiency during sex.
Cialis tends to interact with other drugs. Concomitant use with nitrates may result in a sudden drop of supine blood pressure. This may cause faintness and dizziness. On rare occasions, PDE-5 inhibitors cause vision problems and hearing difficulties. If any of the effects occur, Cialis treatment should be stopped immediately.
