Cialis samples typically contain 5mg or 10mg of tadalafil. Start with the lower dose unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Dosage and Effects
The effects of Cialis generally begin within 30 minutes and can last up to 36 hours. This extended duration is a key difference from other erectile dysfunction medications. You’ll experience improved blood flow to the penis, leading to firmer erections suitable for sexual activity.
- 5mg: Often prescribed for daily use to maintain erectile function. 10mg: Typically used as needed, before anticipated sexual activity.
The effectiveness can vary depending on individual factors like overall health and the presence of other medical conditions.
Potential Side Effects
While generally well-tolerated, Cialis can cause side effects. These are usually mild and temporary.
Headache Facial flushing Muscle aches Nasal congestion Indigestion
Rare but more serious side effects include vision changes, hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Important Considerations
Cialis interacts with some medications, particularly nitrates. Discuss all medications you’re taking with your doctor before using Cialis. Alcohol consumption can also affect its efficacy and increase the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for safe and responsible use. If unsure, consult a healthcare professional.
