Cialis ®
(TADALAFIL - ORAL)
Uses
Cialis is in a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which are used to treat cases of male impotence. Cialis is a fairly new impotence drug and has only just come onto the market. The UK is the first country in the world to be able to offer Cialis to its residents.
How to take this medication
Take CIALIS exactly as your doctor prescribes. CIALIS comes in different doses (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg). For most men, the recommended starting dose is 10 mg. CIALIS should be taken no more than once a day. Some men can only take a low dose of CIALIS because of medical conditions or medicines they take. Your doctor will prescribe the dose that is right for you.
Side effects
The early tests seem to indicate that Cialis doesn't affect blood pressure as much as other ED drugs. The clinical trials showed that statistically there was no significant difference in cardiovascular side effects from the placebo.
Precautions
If you have kidney problems, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of CIALIS. If you have kidney or liver problems or you are taking certain medications, your doctor may limit your highest dose of CIALIS to 10 mg and may also limit you to one tablet in 48 hours (2 days) or one tablet in 72 hours (3 days).
Drug interactions
Consult your doctor about all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially any nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate), nitroprusside (any "nitric oxide donor" medicines), cimetidine, erythromycin, azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole), mibefradil, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin) or high blood pressure medicines.
Notes
According to clinical studies data on Cialis(TM) (tadalafil), men with ED reported a statistically significant improvement in successful intercourse attempts at 24 and 36 hours after taking the drug, compared to placebo. Other new findings including a summary of cardiovascular safety data showed no increased incidence of cardiovascular events during clinical studies. In all studies, compared with placebo, use of Cialis ® demonstrated consistent and statistically significant improvement and the treatment effect did not diminish over time.
Miss dose
Not applicable.
Storage
Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children
