Cialis can be taken either:

• As-needed: 10 mg, taken 30 minutes before sexual activity. The dosage can be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg depending on efficacy and tolerance.
• Daily: A lower dose of 2.5 mg or 5 mg can be taken every day, allowing for spontaneous sexual activity at any time.

The effects of Cialis can last up to 36 hours, making it one of the longest-lasting ED medications. This doesn’t mean you’ll have an erection the entire time, but rather that the drug allows for erections when sexually stimulated within that time window.

Cialis typically starts working within 30 minutes to 2 hours after taking it, depending on the individual. For best results, it should be taken at least 30 minutes before planned sexual activity.

Yes, Cialis is available in a low-dose form (2.5 mg or 5 mg) that can be taken daily. This is ideal for men who anticipate frequent sexual activity (two or more times a week), as it allows for more spontaneous sex.

The most common side effects include:

• Headache
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Flushing
• Indigestion
• Nasal congestion

These side effects usually resolve within a few hours but can last up to 48 hours for some men.

Serious side effects are rare but can include:

• Sudden loss of vision or hearing
• Priapism (a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours)
• Chest pain or heart attack symptoms in men with pre-existing heart conditions

If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks) is generally safe, but excessive drinking can increase the risk of side effects, such as dizziness or fainting. Additionally, alcohol may reduce the effectiveness of Cialis and interfere with your ability to achieve an erection.

No, Cialis should not be combined with other ED medications like Viagra (sildenafil) or Levitra (vardenafil). This increases the risk of serious side effects, including a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Cialis differs from Viagra and other ED medications primarily in its duration of action. While Viagra lasts for about 4-6 hours, Cialis can last up to 36 hours, providing more flexibility. Cialis can also be taken daily in lower doses, whereas Viagra is taken on an as-needed basis.

No, Cialis does not affect sexual desire. It only helps with the physical process of getting and maintaining an erection. Sexual arousal is still necessary for Cialis to work effectively.

Yes, Cialis can be taken with or without food. Unlike some ED medications, it is not affected by fatty meals, which means it can still work effectively regardless of your diet.

If Cialis doesn’t work as expected, consult us again. We may adjust your dosage, explore underlying conditions, or recommend trying a different ED medication. Cialis may not work for everyone, and it can take several tries to notice its full effect.

Yes, Cialis is generally safe for long-term use when taken as prescribed. However, you should regularly check in with your healthcare provider, especially if you have other health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

Cialis should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it in its original packaging and out of reach of children.
