Cialis ( Tadalafil ) 4 Film Coated Tablet ( 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg )
Cialis ( Tadalafil ), which contains the active substance tadalafil, is an erectile dysfunction tablet developed by Lilly. The treatment works in a similar way to Viagra and Levitra, but remains active for a much longer period of time. For this reason, Cialis is a popular choice for those looking to enjoy spontaneous sex over a prolonged period, without having to plan taking treatment around sex in advance.
Cialis a type of ED treatment suited for men who want to have sex more than once over a 36 hour period.
Lots of men suffer from impotence from time to time, and there are numerous reasons why it can happen. The condition is most common in the middle-age demographic. Men who are above the age of 40 are more likely to experience the condition, due to their increased susceptibility to health issues and decreased blood flow.
This doesn’t mean that younger men are immune when it comes to ED. In fact, anxiety or emotional distress, whether it is caused by the need to perform sexually in a new relationship, or other issues, such as money or work, can have a bearing on erectile function.
For men wondering in official medical terms what erectile dysfunction is, it’s defined as an ability to achieve and maintain erection hard enough for sex, on a persistent basis. This is the condition Cialis is indicated for.
However in everyday conversation the term ‘ED’ is somewhat interchangeably used to describe the symptom (for not being able to get an erection) on a one-off basis as well.
Cialis is available as a 2.5mg or 5mg daily tablet; or as a 10mg or 20mg dosage tablet for on-demand use. The strength you use will be determined by how often you plan on using the medicine, and what has worked in the past. Lower strength tablets like 2.5mg or 5mg can be taken once a day; while stronger on-demand tablets should be used less frequently (usually no more than twice in any one week, with at least a 24-hour gap observed after the effects of the previous dose have worn off).
You should certainly never take more than one Cialis tablet in any single day, regardless of the dosage amount.
Taking Cialis Daily 2.5mg and 5mg
Those using Cialis 2.5mg should take no more than one tablet per day. This strength is usually indicated for those who wish to take the medicine daily, but are new to the treatment.
For men taking Cialis Daily 5mg, no more than one tablet should be taken in any one day. The 5mg strength is prescribed to those who want to take the medicine daily, but have tried 2.5mg before and found it to be insufficient.
Taking Cialis 10mg and 20mg
The 10mg dose should be taken as a single tablet at least 30 minutes before sex. Cialis 10mg is the recommended starting dose for those looking to enjoy spontaneous sex over the course of a weekend, and may be prescribed to those who have never tried Cialis before.
The highest dosage, Cialis 20mg, is intended to be taken at least 30 minutes before sex. This dosage is typically prescribed to men who are looking to have uninterrupted sex over a two-three day period, but have found 10mg to be less than fully effective.
If you have a history of any medical conditions or aren’t sure which dosage is the most suitable for you, speak to your doctor.
