Cialis, taken orally, dissolves in the stomach and intestines. The drug then enters the bloodstream.
Absorption is fairly quick, with peak blood levels usually reached within two hours. Food can slightly delay absorption, but doesn’t significantly affect how well Cialis works.
Cialis’s bioavailability – the amount that reaches the bloodstream and becomes active – is approximately 85%. This high bioavailability means a good portion of the medication is available to do its job.
Once in the bloodstream, Cialis targets specific enzymes involved in blood flow regulation. This leads to improved blood flow to the penis, aiding in erectile function.
The drug’s effects typically last for up to 36 hours, significantly longer than some other erectile dysfunction medications. This extended duration is a key characteristic of Cialis.
Note: Individual responses to Cialis may vary. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to address any concerns about medication usage.
