What is Erectile Dysfunction?
The inability to get or maintain an erection is a common condition among men known as erectile dysfunction (ED). While it may occur due to stress from time to time, frequent issues with ED may be a sign of health problems. ED has the potential to affect men in all age groups, though it is considerably more common in older men.
There is a wide range of possible causes of ED. These may include:
- Obesity
- Cardiovascular disease
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Low testosterone levels
- Hypertension
- Kidney disease
- Depression
- Drug use
- Relationship problems
ED can limit a man’s ability to enjoy sexual intercourse or other types of sexual activity. It is both a frustrating and challenging condition that can affect a man’s confidence.
ED can cause strain on relationships due to the inability to enjoy a full and active sex life. However, ED is a treatable medical condition that can allow affected men to enjoy a complete sex life with their partner.
What Is Cialis?
Cialis is a brand name for tadalafil, an oral medicine used to treat ED as well as enlarged prostate. It is regarded as being stronger than Viagra, typically lasting for much longer and requiring a smaller dosage.
It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which can help to achieve and maintain an erection. Sexual arousal is still required to achieve an erection. Studies show that around 70% of men respond positively to medicines such as Cialis and Viagra.
A person who has taken Cialis may have sexual activity around 30 minutes later and for up to 36 hours afterward.
Side Effects
The majority of people who take Cialis experience no side effects or minor ones. Minor side effects may include:
- Headaches
- Flushed face
- Sickness/nausea
- Indigestion
- Muscle aches
- Stuffy nose
More serious side effects are rare, though they can include:
- Prolonged and painful erections
- Chest pains
- Problems with eyesight or hearing
- Seizures
- Skin reactions
Dosage
One tablet can be taken around 30 minutes before sexual activity (when needed). The typical dosage is 10mg; your doctor will determine the correct dosage for each individual. For once-daily use, the recommended dosage is 2.5mg and it should be taken at the same time daily.
