EspañolCialis
Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor marketed in pill form for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) under the name Cialis, and under the name Adcirca for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. In October 2011 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Cialis for treating the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as a combination of BPH and erectile dysfunction (ED) when the conditions coincide. It initially was developed by the biotechnology company ICOS, and then again developed and marketed world-wide by Lilly ICOS, LLC, the joint venture of ICOS Corporation and Eli Lilly and Company. Cialis tablets, in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg doses, are yellow, film-coated, and almond-shaped. The approved dose for pulmonary arterial hypertension is 40 mg (two 20-mg tablets) once daily.
Tadalafil is also manufactured and sold under the name of Tadacip by the Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla in doses of 10 mg and 20 mg.
Tips for Cialis use
1. GET INTO THE MOOD. Cialis won't give you an instant erection. It only works when you're sexually aroused.
2. TAKE YOUR TIME. Cialis can work for up to 3 hours. So relax. There's plenty of time. Begin by taking Cialis 30 minutes to 1 hour before having sex.
3. EAT SMART BEFORE YOU START. Cialis can be taken with or without food. But to get the quickest results, avoid high-fat meals before taking Cialis.
4. IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED. For most men, Cialis works the first or second time. But some men need to ease back into sex. And remember, Cialis should not be taken more than once a day.
If you still don’t get results, your doctor may be able to provide tips for you and/or adjust your dosage.
