About Cialis

The newest alternative to Viagra in the oral treatment of erectile dysfunction is Lilly Icos' Cialis (tadalafil) approved by The Food and Drug Administration in February, 2003. The main advantage of Cialis is given by its long-lasting effectiveness. Cialis was called "the all-weekender pill" because it can help men get and keep erections within a 36-hour period. Tadalafil doesn't impose any nutritional restrictions which may force intimacy. Food doesn't influence the absorption of the drug in any way. Cialis improves the erectile function by relaxing the muscle cells allowing blood flow into the penis. Like all the other PDE5 Inhibitors tadalafil compresses the veins carrying blood flow away from the penis, and helps the subject maintain the achieved erection during sexual intercourse. Besides Cialis' 36-hour effectiveness, the drug is also excellently absorbed in the body, which stimulates spontaneity without dealing with less desire or ruined intimacy.

However, Cialis also presents a series of side-effects and contraindications. Most reported side-effects are headaches, indigestions, back and muscle aches, flushing and stuffy or runny nose. Sight disorders are rarely mentioned. Also seldom were reported cases of priapism, prolonged erections of more than 4 hours which require immediate medical help. Patients are recommended not to consume excessive amounts of alcohol in combination with Cialis for maximum results. The use of tadalafil is contraindicated in association with nitrates or alpha-blockers recommended in treating prostate problems or high blood pressure, as the result may be a dangerous drop in blood pressure, fainting or even death. No more than 10mg of Cialis once every 72 hours should be taken by patients already taking ketoconazole or ritonoavir. Patients suffering from decreased kidney function are recommended not to overpass 5mg of Cialis once a day. Cialis is also restricted in use for patients with liver impairment or uncertain heart conditions.

Cialis' effectiveness has won the confidence of over 3 million patients worldwide. The "all weekender pill" has penetrated the pharmaceutical market in approximately 90 countries, including Australia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, USA and countries all over Europe. Since its approval in 2003, Cialis is constantly increasing its percentage of prescriptions, as marketing surveys reveal it.
