For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the typical starting dose of Cialis is 5mg taken once daily. This low dose is often sufficient for many men to experience symptom relief. Your doctor might adjust this based on your individual response and tolerance.
Some men may find a 2.5mg daily dose more appropriate, while others may require a higher dose, up to 5mg twice daily. However, it’s important to discuss any dosage changes with your physician. Never increase your dosage without medical guidance.
Factors Influencing Dosage
Your doctor considers several factors when determining the right Cialis dosage for you. These include your age, overall health, other medications you are taking, and the severity of your BPH symptoms. Kidney and liver function also play a significant role in how your body processes Cialis. Open communication with your doctor is key to finding the optimal dosage.
Administration and Important Considerations
Cialis is taken orally, usually with or without food. It’s important to take the medication as prescribed. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets. Consistent daily use is crucial for maintaining symptom relief. Inform your doctor about any side effects you experience, even minor ones. He or she can then assess whether adjustments are necessary. Remember to always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
