Cialis is the brand name of a certain type of tadalafil drug, used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. The biggest or sole manufacturer of commercial Cialis is the Eli Lily and Company, located in the United States. It is available throughout US and all over the world with medical supervisions. Cialis is a prescription pill and should not be sold or purchased without a doctor’s guidance. A lot of online companies do sell it over the internet if you provide them your prescription note, however this method of buying medications is not recommended since there are greater risks of counterfeit, fake and generic Cialis. Always be cautious on how you buy medicines. With that said, here is a brief overview of Cialis, its uses and side effects.
How does it Work?
When a man is sexually stimulated, the penile arteries which takes blood into the penis dilate, resulting in more blood accumulation. On the other hand, the vessels which take the blood away from the penis contracts and the excessive blood in the penis makes it erect, resulting in erection. Cialis contains chemical ingredients that control the contraction and dilation of the arteries, consequently helping in treating erectile dysfunction.
Uses
As I said earlier, the primary use of Cialis Super Active is to treat erectile dysfunction in men. However, since the drug generally controls the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, it could be modified to treat other heart related medical disorders as well. In fact, tadalafil under the name Adcirca is used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The common dosage of Cialis is one tablet per day but it can change according to each person’s needs and the composition of the pill.
Side Effects
There are commonly no life-threatening side effects of taking this pill regularly, given that the patient has consulted with a doctor and using Cialis on prescription. However, basic symptoms like headaches, back and chest pain during sexual activity, dizziness as well as high body temperature may appear sometimes. In severe cases, which are very rare, the patient can experience an allergic reaction to it. The shortness of breath and the forced accumulation of blood can upset the blood flow and put stress on the heart, resulting in convulsions and even stroke. Patients should stop taking the medication if they feel any of the above symptoms and consult with their doctors for further directions.
