the condition known as ED (Erectile Dysfunction).
|
 |
Uses
Cialis is in a
class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which
are used to treat cases of male impotence. Cialis is a
fairly new impotence drug and has only just come onto
the market. The UK is the first country in the world to
be able to offer Cialis to its residents.
How to take this
medication
Take CIALIS exactly as your doctor
prescribes. CIALIS comes in different doses (5 mg, 10
mg, and 20 mg). For most men, the recommended starting
dose is 10 mg. CIALIS should be taken no more than once
a day. Some men can only take a low dose of CIALIS
because of medical conditions or medicines they take.
Your doctor will prescribe the dose that is right for
you.
Side effects
The early
tests seem to indicate that Cialis doesn't affect blood
pressure as much as other ED drugs. The clinical trials
showed that statistically there was no significant
difference in cardiovascular side effects from the
placebo.
Precautions
If you have
kidney problems, your doctor may start you on a lower
dose of CIALIS. If you have kidney or liver problems or
you are taking certain medications, your doctor may
limit your highest dose of CIALIS to 10 mg and may also
limit you to one tablet in 48 hours (2 days) or one
tablet in 72 hours (3 days).
Drug
interactions
Consult your doctor about all
nonprescription and prescription medication you may use,
especially any nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin,
isosorbide dinitrate), nitroprusside (any "nitric oxide
donor" medicines), cimetidine, erythromycin, azole
antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole),
mibefradil, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin) or high blood
pressure medicines.
Notes
According to
clinical studies data on Cialis(TM) (tadalafil), men
with ED reported a statistically significant improvement
in successful intercourse attempts at 24 and 36 hours
after taking the drug, compared to placebo. Other new
findings including a summary of cardiovascular safety
data showed no increased incidence of cardiovascular
events during clinical studies. In all studies, compared
with placebo, use of Cialis® demonstrated consistent and
statistically significant improvement and the treatment
effect did not diminish over time.
Storage
Store at room
temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees
C) away from light and moisture. Keep it out of the
reach of
