When used for erectile dysfunction (ED), Cialis Together helps relax blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the penis to facilitate an erection when sexually stimulated. It can be taken either as a daily low-dose pill or as a higher dose on an as-needed basis. The effects can last up to 36 hours, allowing for more flexibility compared to other ED treatments. It does not cause an erection without sexual arousal.
Cialis Together, a brand name for the drug tadalafil, is a prescription medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical in the body that relaxes the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. This results in improved blood flow, allowing a man to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.
As-needed use: The typical dose is 10 mg, which can be adjusted to 20 mg or down to 5 mg, depending on individual response and tolerance. It should be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity, but its effects can last up to 36 hours, providing a wider window for sexual activity.
Timing: Cialis Together should be taken orally, with or without food. For the as-needed dose, sexual stimulation is still required for the drug to work. It will not cause an erection by itself, but it enhances the body’s natural response to sexual arousal.
While many men use Cialis without serious issues, some may experience side effects. These can range from mild to more severe and include:
These side effects usually go away within a few hours, but muscle aches or back pain may take longer to resolve.
