Cialis primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED), helping men achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
Treating Erectile Dysfunction
- Cialis improves blood flow to the penis, facilitating erections. It’s effective for various causes of ED, including those related to age, diabetes, or nerve damage. Results are typically seen within 30 minutes to 2 hours of taking the medication. The effect can last up to 36 hours, offering a longer window of opportunity compared to some other ED medications.
Treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Beyond ED, Cialis also addresses symptoms of BPH, a condition causing an enlarged prostate.
- It relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urine flow. This leads to reduced urinary frequency, urgency, and nighttime urination. Cialis is particularly useful for men experiencing both ED and BPH symptoms.
Important Considerations
Always consult your doctor before starting Cialis. They’ll assess your health and determine the appropriate dosage. Discuss any existing health conditions or medications you’re taking with your physician. Cialis is not suitable for all men. Your doctor will determine if it’s the right treatment for you. Side effects, though generally mild, can occur. Common ones include headache, flushing, and nasal congestion. Report any concerning side effects to your doctor immediately.
Dosage and Administration
Your doctor will prescribe the correct dosage based on your individual needs and health status. Follow their instructions carefully regarding dosage and administration.
