Cialis
Generic name: Tadalafil
Why is Cialis prescribed?
Cialis is an oral drug for male impotence, also known as erectile
dysfunction (ED). It works by dilating blood vessels in the
penis, allowing the inflow of blood needed for an erection.
Most important fact about Cialis
Cialis causes erections only during sexual excitement. It does
not work in the absence of arousal and does not increase sexual
desire.
How should you take Cialis?
Take one Cialis tablet before sexual activity, with or without
food. The best time to take Cialis depends on how and when the
drug works for you, but some men are able to have an erection
30 minutes after taking it. Others are able to wait up to 36
hours after taking Cialis before engaging in sexual activity.
* If you miss a dose...
Take Cialis only before sexual activity, but no more than once
a day. Do not take two doses at once.
* Storage instructions...
Store at room temperature.

Why should Cialis not be prescribed?
Do not take Cialis if you are taking any nitrate-based drug,
including nitroglycerin patches, nitroglycerin ointment, nitroglycerin
pills, and isosorbide pills. This also includes street drugs
known as "poppers," including amyl nitrate and butyl
nitrate. Combining Cialis with any of these drugs can cause
a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Likewise, do not take Cialis with certain blood pressure and
prostate drugs known as alpha-blockers, including doxazosin,
terazosin, prazosin, and alfuzosin. However, you can take the
alpha-blocker tamsulosin at a dose of 0.4 milligrams once a
day.
If Cialis gives you an allergic reaction, do not use it again.
Special warnings about Cialis
If you have heart problems severe enough to make sexual activity
a danger, you should avoid using Cialis. If you take this drug
and develop cardiac symptoms (for example, dizziness, nausea,
and chest pain) during sexual activity, do not continue. Alert
your doctor to the problem as soon as possible.
Because Cialis has not been studied in people with cardiovascular
disease, it's best to avoid this drug if you've had a stroke
or heart failure within the past 6 months, or a heart attack
within the past 3 months. Be equally cautious if you have severe
high or low blood pressure, heartbeat irregularities, or unstable
angina (crushing heart pain that occurs at any time). If you
develop angina after taking Cialis, seek medical attention immediately.
If you have severe kidney or liver problems, a bleeding disorder,
stomach ulcer, or an inherited retinal disorder such as retinitis
pigmentosa, use this medication with caution. Its safety under
these circumstances has not yet been studied.
Rare cases of prolonged and sometimes painful erections (known
as priapism) have been reported with drugs similar to Cialis.
If you develop an erection that lasts more than 4 hours, seek
medical treatment immediately. Otherwise, permanent damage and
impotence could result.
If you have a condition that might result in long-lasting erections,
such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma (a disease of the
bone marrow), or leukemia, use Cialis with caution. Also use
caution if you have a genital problem or deformity such as Peyronie's
disease.
Remember that Cialis offers no protection from transmission
of sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV, the virus that
causes AIDS.
Possible food and drug interactions when taking Cialis
Be sure to check with your doctor about the medications that
should never be taken with Cialis, including:
Alpha-blocking drugs prescribed for high blood pressure or prostate
problems, including doxazosin, terazosin, prazosin, and alfuzosinNitrate-based
drugs prescribed for chest pain, such as nitroglycerin patches,
nitroglycerin ointment, nitroglycerin pills, and isosorbide
pillsStreet drugs known as "poppers," including amyl
nitrate and butyl nitrate
Cialis could intensify the effects of certain drugs used to
lower blood pressure. Be sure to tell your doctor if you take
any of the following:
Angiotensin II receptor blockers, such as candesartan, eprosartan
and irbesartanBendrofluazideEnalaprilMetoprol
If Cialis is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of
either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially
important to check with your doctor before combining Cialis
with the following:
Other impotence drugs including alprostadil, sildenafil, and
vardenafilErythromycinGrapefruit juiceIndinavirItraconazoleKetoconazoleRifampinRitonavir
It's best not to drink too much alcohol while you're taking
Cialis. Combining the two could lower your blood pressure and
cause dizziness, especially upon standing. Drinking five or
more servings of alcohol could intensify this effect and also
cause headache and rapid heartbeat.
Recommended dosage for Cialis
ADULT MALES
Doses range from 5 milligrams to 20 milligrams, depending on
the drug's effect. The recommended starting dose is 10 milligrams.
Take Cialis only before sexual activity. The manufacturer recommends
a maximum of one dose per day. If you're taking certain drugs
that affect the liver, such as ritonavir or ketoconazole, the
maximum recommended dose is 10 milligrams no more than once
every 3 days.
If you have moderate kidney impairment, the recommended starting
dose is 5 milligrams once a day, up to a maximum of 10 milligrams
once every 2 days. If you have severe kidney impairment or need
dialysis, the maximum recommended dose is 5 milligrams once
a day. No dosage adjustment is required if you have mild kidney
problems.
If you have mild or moderate liver impairment, your total daily
dose should not exceed 10 milligrams once a day. If your liver
is severely impaired, you will not be able to use Cialis.
Overdosage Cialis
Large doses of Cialis (up to 500 milligrams) resulted in similar
side effects as regular doses. However, any medication taken
in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose,
seek medical attention immediately.
