Cialis (Tadalafil) - is one of the most popular drugs against erectile dysfunction created by Icos and Elly Lilly companies. After the necessary clinical research the drug was approved by the European Union and in 2003 tadalafil appeared on the pharmaceutical market under the trade name "Cialis". Since then Cialis firmly have taken the 2-nd place as the most popular drug among erectile dysfunction medications, surrendering the first place only Viagra. However, many men consider Cialis to be much better than Viagra by two reasons: firstly, Cialis starts to act more quickly, secondly, the effect of Cialis lasts considerably longer. It is a long lasting effect of Cialis that ensured it such high popularity.

But which effect does Cialis take? Cialis belongs to inhibitors of the phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme. Reactant of Cialis drug is tadalafil. Tadalafil causes relaxation of smooth muscles of arteries and, consequently, increase of blood flow to male genital organs, which ensures a man good erection. Tadalafil takes effect for 36 hours after administration, and only during sexual stimulation, which is a great plus of the drug. This means that a man who has erection problems can take a pill of Cialis in the morning and may not worry that at the right time, for example, during an evening date, he will not be able to get his erection. At the same time as tadalafil can cause an erection only during sexual arousal, its appearance does not threaten the man at the most inopportune moment.

Of course, not everybody can take tadalafil. There are certain contraindications concerning administration of Cialis. This hypersensitization to tadalafil, and also administration of drugs containing any organic nitrates. One should take these contraindications most carefully. Cialis is not intended for abuse it by women and persons under 18.

Patients with mild and moderate renal insufficiency should take tadalafil carefully take tadalafil. Effect of tadalafil to persons with severe renal insufficiency has not been studied, so the latter should not take Cialis. Patients with hepatic failure don’t need special adjustment of a dose. Also there’s no need in special adjustment of Cialis dosage for people of advanced age, although it should be mentioned that men over 65 years have low tadalafil clearance.

Cialis is recommended to be taken before sexual activity, regardless of food intake. The maximum dose of Cialis is 20mg for 36 hours. If a smaller dosage is enough for a man then the pill may be divided into 2 or 4 parts. In case of overdose one should immediately consult a doctor.

The most frequent side effects of Cialis are headache and dyspepsia. Blood "rushes" to the face more seldom, myalgia, stuffiness in nose, and back pain. Very rare side effects of tadalafil are hyperemia of the conjunctiva, eyelids edema, vertigo, eyes pain. Side effects of tadalafil trend to be decrease in the course of time.

Also, before administration of Cialis one should attentively get to know interactions with other substances. For example, CYP3A4 inhibitors (erythromycin, itraconazole, etc.) increase tadalafil activity. So, if you are taking any medications before administration of Cialis we recommend you to consult your doctor in charge.

One may often meet assertions in the Web space that Cialis can be taken with alcohol. That’s not true. Actually tadalafil does not interact with ethanol. But it is important to understand that both tadalafil and alcohol expand blood vessels, which can lead to a sharp drop of blood pressure. Also, simultaneous administration of Cialis and alcohol increases the side effects. Cialis manufacturers warn of a high risk of severe illness and fatal cases related with vascular factors, this category concerns to people who regularly drink alcoholic beverages, because as a rule they have already problems with the vessels. That’s why we strongly recommend to avoid drinking alcohol when taking Cialis.

There are also such drugs as Cialis Generic, Cialis Strips (Cialia) and Cialis Soft Tabs. View prices for Cialis. How do they differ from Cialis Brand?

Generic manufacturers have only to prove the identity of the basic active ingredient of the drug.

Many manufacturers of generics buy cheap generic substances of very low quality in supplier countries of counterfeit pharmaceutical production (India, Vietnam and China). Manufacturing such substances one use modified methods of synthesis, which lead to the formation of degradation products and toxic substances.

The only difference is in the way of taking Cialis and speed of effect onset. Cialis Strips is recommended to be put under the tongue for the strip melting.
