What Strength Of Cialis / Tadalafil Should I Take?
So, you got over your embarrassment or perhaps it is your desperation to save the relationship that has finally pushed you to seek help from your doctor about your impotence, which is also known as erectile dysfunction. You are not alone. While the risk of developing erectile dysfunction increases the older you get, approximately 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 years are estimated to have experienced it.
Why do I have Erectile Dysfunction?
People with erectile dysfunction may often have other emotional or physical health problems. Sometimes these health problems may even have contributed to the development of erectile dysfunction. For example, you may have diabetes, neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, conditions of the heart affecting blood flow such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, or even emotional conditions such as anxiety and depression.
Certain medications used to treat these, and other health conditions may affect blood flow through your body and contribute to causing or worsening erectile dysfunction. This includes drugs used to treat heart conditions, mental health conditions, cancer chemotherapy or certain hormones. However, it is not just prescribed drugs that can cause erectile dysfunction. Abuse of other substances such as alcohol or drugs like cocaine and amphetamines can result in erectile dysfunction.
What do I need to know about taking Cialis?
As discussed above, many men with erectile dysfunction have other health problems as well. They will, therefore, more likely be taking medications to manage those conditions. You must tell your doctor all the medicines that you are taking so that together you can make an informed decision about how best to manage your erectile dysfunction.
The active ingredient in Cialis is tadalafil. But what are the differences? Tadalafil is one of several similar drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors that are used to treat erectile dysfunction like Viagra. It is probably not an overstatement to say that the development of these drugs has changed the lives of many men and undoubtedly helped save relationships from falling apart.
You should be aware that apart from erectile dysfunction, Cialis can also be used to treat the signs and symptoms of a non-cancerous enlarged prostate, referred to medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia. The dose of Cialis used for this condition differs from that used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is, therefore, important that you follow the instructions given to you by your doctor and pharmacist, and take the correct dose for erectile dysfunction.
Taking the correct dose is also important, so you can avoid or reduce the likelihood of experiencing side effects of Cialis. When taken as prescribed, most men will have few, if any, problems while taking Cialis.
Before we look at what dose of Cialis you should take, you need to know that people with certain conditions problems should not take Cialis at all. Some of these conditions are described below.
Cialis/Tadalafil has not been studied in people with the rare genetic eye disease, retinitis pigmentosa and should not take the drug. Women and males under the age of 18 years should not take Cialis. It has been studied only in men over the age of 18 years. You should not take Cialis if you have a known allergy to the drug or any of the ingredients in the tablet.
If you have certain other conditions, then you may still be able to take Cialis, but need to take extra care when using it. For example:
Cialis may cause priapism, which is a painful, prolonged erection and considered a medical emergency. It is more likely to happen if you have problems that affect your blood cells, e.g. sickle cell anaemia, multiple myeloma, and leukaemia; or if you have a curved or deformed penis or Peyronie’s disease. If you have heart disease, sexual activity may worsen your condition. Therefore, you should not take Cialis if your doctor has advised against sexual activity. Liver problems, kidney disease or dialysis may prevent your body from getting rid of Cialis properly resulting in the drug remaining in your body longer and potentially increasing your risk of experiencing side effects. Cialis may cause or worsen bleeding disorders or peptic ulcers.
In these circumstances, your doctor may decide to start you on a lower dose of Cialis, reduce the number of times you can take it or not prescribe it at all. They may also keep a closer eye on you while are taking the drug.
If you have a prescription for Cialis, then your doctor will have assessed you and decided there is no reason you cannot try Cialis for your erectile dysfunction.
