CIALIS tablets are for oral use. Swallow the tablet whole with water. You
may take CIALIS with or without food or alcohol. You can engage in sexual
activity within half an hour of taking the tablet and up to 36 hours
later. It may be possible for you to engage in sexual activity more than
once - for example, in the evening and again in the morning. The amount of
time CIALIS takes to work varies from person to person. After you have
taken CIALIS you may wish to attempt sexual intercourse at different times
to decide the best time range for you and your partner. Your dose may be
lowered to 10mg based on your individual response to CIALIS. If you are
not sure when to take CIALIS, ask your doctor or health care professional.
Cialis (tadalafil) acts the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme
called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the
penis relax and widen, allowing more blood to enter. As a result, erections are achieved faster and easier. Cialis is approved in
authorized markets for the treatment of mild to severe erectile dysfunction at both 10mg and
20 mg doses. Cialis labels in each of these markets indicate
that the product should be taken prior to anticipated sexual activity and
without regard to food. Like Viagra, sexual stimulation is needed for
Cialis to work. According to the European label, the efficacy of Cialis
may persist up to 24 hours after the pill is taken. In Australia and
the United States, the label indicates efficacy up to 36 hours after dosing.
Inform your physician or health care professional as soon as possible if you do
not feel well while taking Cialis. Cialis helps most people with
erectile dysfunction, but may have unwanted side effects in some
people. Most side effects are mild to moderate in nature. Do not be
alarmed by some of the common possible side effects.
You may not experience any of them. Ask your doctor or health care
professional any questions you may have. Tell your doctor or
health care professional if you notice any of the following symptoms and they are
severe or do not go away: headache; indigestion; back pain;
muscle aches; nasal congestion; facial flushing; swelling of the eyelids;
eye pain; conjunctival hyperaemia (red eyes); Allergic reactions
(including skin rashes) could occur.
In rare instances, prolonged and possibly painful erections may occur after taking Cialis.
If you have an erection which lasts more than 4
hours, contact a doctor immediately. If chest pain
occurs during or after sexual activity, do not use nitrates and seek immediate medical assistance. Tell your physician or
pharmacist if you notice anything that makes you feel unwell.
Cialis is not for everybody. Men taking any form of nitrates (used
to control anginal chest pain) should never take Cialis- the combination
may lead to an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Men taking medications
called "alpha blockers" (prescribed for prostate problems or
high blood pressure), with the exception of Flomax (tamsulosin HCl) 0.4 mg
once-daily, should not take Cialis. This combination could cause a
significant drop in blood pressure. Do not take Cialis if you are
currently taking any nitrates or amyl nitrite. Nitrates are medicines used
to treat angina pectoris ("chest pain"). Cialis has been shown to amplify
the effects of these drugs. If you are taking any form of nitrate or are
unsure, ask your doctor. Do not take Cialis if you have had an allergic
reaction in the past to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients listed. Some symptoms of an
allergic reaction may include shortness of breath, wheezing or difficulty
breathing; swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or other parts of the body;
rash, itching, or hives on the skin. Do not take Cialis after the expiry
date printed on the pack or if the packaging is torn or shows signs of
tampering. If it has expired or is damaged, return it to your pharmacist
for disposal. If you are not sure whether you should start taking Cialis,
ask your doctor.
In case of Cialis overdose, immediately contact your doctor,
or go to the Emergency Department of the nearest hospital if you think
that you or anyone else may have had too much Cialis, even if
there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning. You may need urgent medical
attention. Symptoms of an overdose may include headache, dyspepsia
(indigestion), back pain, muscular aches, nasal congestion and facial
flushing.
Keep your Cialis tablets in the original package, and store below 25C.
Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.
