Tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis compresse, works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow and facilitating an erection. This effect is achieved through the inhibition of a specific enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5).
Dosage and Administration
Cialis compresse are available in various dosages (2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg). Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health condition. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and frequency.
- Daily Use: Lower dosages (2.5mg or 5mg) are typically prescribed for daily use, maintaining a consistent level of Tadalafil in your system. As-Needed Use: Higher dosages (10mg or 20mg) are usually taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.
Never exceed the recommended dosage. Consult your doctor before adjusting your dosage.
Potential Side Effects
Like all medications, Cialis compresse can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, back pain, and muscle aches. These are usually mild and temporary.
Serious side effects are rare but possible. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss, prolonged erection (priapism), or chest pain.
Drug Interactions
Nitrates: Cialis should not be taken with nitrates (medications used to treat chest pain), as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Alpha-blockers: Combining Cialis with alpha-blockers (medications used to treat high blood pressure or enlarged prostate) may also lead to low blood pressure. Your doctor needs to carefully monitor this combination. Other Medications: Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you are currently taking. This is crucial to prevent potential drug interactions.
Precautions
Cialis is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems may need to avoid it or use it with caution. This information does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before using Cialis compresse.
