Essential information about Cialis and it's safety

When you start ED treatment, you should necessarily visit your doctor and provide him with your health history and your present condition. The information should be comprehensive to give the full picture to your medical specialist. It is also important to learn as much as possible about the drug prescribed to you to make sure that it is safe. Sometimes, the medication is suitable for particular patient but wrong approach to treatment can spoil everything. You should know how to maximize the effect when you are treated with Cialis or other PDE-5 inhibitor and minimize potential side effects as well.

The problem of erectile dysfunction is complicated and it is hard to distinguish the right approach if you are not a specialist. It is impossible to consider all aspects without specialized knowledge and practical medical experience. Never follow the recommendations of your friends. Your health history can’t coincide in details with health history of some other person. The response to chemical compounds is always individual. Therefore, it is necessary to do it under medical supervision.

The popularity of Cialis grows and more men want to buy it. However, one should remember about the side effects that can occur after intake of Cialis. As any other medicine, it also has contraindications.

The side effects are revealed in the following way:

  • The most frequent side effects include headache and problems with stomach.
  • Less seldom the man suffers from pain in the back, running nose, face flushes and muscle pain.
  • The rarest manifestations of side effects are pain in the eyes, swelling of eyelids and etc.

These side effects occur in absolutely healthy men. Those who use Cialis, say that side effects happen rarely, but one should remember about possible manifestations before the treatment.

Some men should refuse from Cialis as it is not recommended for them. Young men should not take PDE-5 inhibitors at all. Their genital system is not developed until they reach 18 years old and they should not treat it when it is in the process of developement.

Men with serious heart diseases also should not take Cialis. Even sexual life is contraindicated for such men. The special risk group are men who had heart attack or a stroke within the last 6 months. When person has arterial hypotension and coronary disease, such medications are forbidden for him.

All know about the danger of nitrates when used with Cialis, Viagra, Levitra and other medicines of this kind. The medications that remove heart pain usually contain nitrate compounds.

Men with liver problems should be very careful with this drug as well.

The last category of men who should refrain from Cialis are those who are too sensitive to it and have allergy to tadalafil, the active ingredient of this medication.

If Cialis is allowed for you, you should be very careful with dosage. Otherwise, overdosage can occur, which will bring big harm to health. The most common Cialis dosages are 5mg and 10 mg. 20 mg pill is maximal dosage possible. In case of overdosage, you should call an ambulance immediately.

If men had priapism before, he should consult the doctor before the intake of Cialis. The medication can provoke 4 hours of painful erection without sexual arousal and this is very dangerous for male health. The most serious consequence of priapism is irreversible impotence therefore one should be very cautious with it.

Cialis is just a stimulator and it should not work on its own. Erection should appear naturally, as a response to sexual desire. After sexual desire is satisfied, the male organ is not erected any longer. If this is different, you should contact the medical specialists without delay.

Study the leaflet carefully before you take Cialis along with other medicines. Actually, you should not do it without doctor’s permission, who examines the list of medications you usually take (along with herbal products and OVC medicines) when he prescribes Cialis for you.

However, the pitfalls can be hidden not in healing products but common foods as well. It is widely advertised that Cialis can be taken with alcohol and any food. Nobody warns you about the potential effect of citrus fruits taken with Cialis. Grapefruit can decrease the action of Cialis and neutralize the effect of tadalafil. For this reason men who use Ciallis should refuse from natural juices made of citrus fruits and other drinks, which include citrus ingredients.

There were many cases when man used Cialis but no effect followed. Later they discovered that they consumed grapefruit or other citrus fruits. When grapefruit juice was excluded from the menu, the medication worked effectively. This effect appears because of furanocoumarins. These are enzymes found in high concentration in Cialis. Its breakdown in the liver takes much time therefore medication gets mostly to the blood of the person. In this way, the person gets the effect as if he took three pills at once. The organism can react in different way to it, but you should be very careful and avoid such things. It takes about 12 hours to withdraw citrus foods from your body so you will have to postpone your sexual date to some other day. Be careful even when you drink tea with lemon – it is better to exclude this as well when you use Cialis.

It is also dangerous to take different PDE-5 inhibitors simultaneously. It means that you should not take Cialis along with Viagra and some other drug with similar mechanism of action. The group of such medications grows with release of new ED medications and has become rather extensive lately, but if you follow doctor’s advice there is nothing to worry about.
