Cialis 20mg is a drug that treats mainly erectile dysfunction and at the same time the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafil is the active component of Cialis and it is a member of the drug class that comprises phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. In this way, it allows the penis to get more blood during sexual stimulation and thus Cialis helps the man to achieve and keep an erection. It must be emphasized that still sexual arousal is needed for the drug to be effective since it does not cause an erection by itself.

For the majority of patients, the suggested quantity of Cialis is 20mg, and it can be taken as required before sexual activity. This dosage has been created to give a combination of efficacy and safety allowing for a longer duration of action in comparison with lower doses. Cialis can be effective for as long as 36 hours; hence, it is also known as the “weekend pill”. Nevertheless, it is very important to contact a healthcare professional for each individual case to get the right dose considering the health status and the other drugs the patient is taking.

Cialis usually does not cause significant side effects, but it is important to know the possible side effects, among which headache, indigestion, backache, and muscle pain are the most common ones. Very rarely, one can experience side effects that are more severe, such as sudden loss of vision or hearing. It is important for the patients to get help from the doctor right away if they have any strong reactions. Moreover, Cialis and nitrates or certain other medicines should not be taken together, as this could lead to a dangerous fall in blood pressure. So, a complete medical check-up is needed to guarantee that the use of Cialis 20mg will be both safe and effective.
