Cialis (tadalafil) works by relaxing the blood vessels to the penis so allowing
better blood flow. Cialis (tadalafil) can work for up to 36 hours, so allowing the man
suffering with erection problems to take the tablet plenty of time before he wishes to have
sex. Cialis should be taken at least 30 minutes before the man wishes to have sex.
Cialis has been shown to work in many clinical trials but it will not work for some men. It
has been shown to improve the ability for most men with erection problems to have successful
sex.
When taken at the recommended dose, the side effects of Cialis (tadalafil) are mild and
normally pass with time. The most common side effects are a headache and upset stomach. Less
common effects include flushing, dizziness and back ache, stuffy nose and muscle pain. Most
men aren't concerned enough by the side effects to stop taking Cialis.
Cialis (tadalafil) should only be taken if prescribed by a registered doctor. This is because
Cialis can be dangerous if you take it at the same time as certain other medicines including
some that are used to treat chest pain (angina) and lower blood pressure (alpha1-blockers,
such as doxazosin), high blood pressure or prostate problems. In addition, some men may not
be well enough to have sex because of the extra strain it puts on the heart and so Cialis is
unsuitable.
The usual starting dose for Cialis is 10mg. If 10mg is not effective and side effects are
not problematic then a 20mg dose should be tried after consultation with your doctor or
pharmacist. You should not take more than 20mg of Cialis a day as this will not give a
greater effect but does increase the risk of side effects.

approximately the same time of day. The dose may be decreased to 2.5mg once a day if
