Cialis, containing tadalafil, treats both erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It’s a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, working by relaxing blood vessels.
For ED, Cialis improves blood flow to the penis, facilitating erections. Dosage typically ranges from 5mg to 20mg, taken as needed or daily. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance.
- Daily Use: Provides continuous ED treatment, allowing spontaneity. As-Needed Use: Taken 30 minutes before sexual activity.
In PAH, Cialis improves blood flow to the lungs, reducing strain on the heart. This is a less common use, prescribed at higher doses and under strict medical supervision.
PAH treatment requires careful monitoring of blood pressure and other vital signs. Dosage and frequency are individually determined based on your health status. Cialis for PAH is generally not a first-line treatment but may be used in combination with other medications.
Remember, Cialis can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates. Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking. Side effects may include headache, flushing, and nasal congestion. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe side effects.
This information provides general guidance; individual needs vary. Always consult your physician or a qualified healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment plans for both ED and PAH.
