What is Cialis?
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.
Possible
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 CialisÆ demonstrated consistent
and statistically significant improvement and the treatment
effect did not diminish over time.
Missed
Dosage:
Not applicable.
Storage:
Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees
F (15-30 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Keep
