Cialis’s duration varies, but generally provides up to 36 hours of potential for an erection. This means you might experience erectile function for this entire period, though it’s not guaranteed to last the full 36 hours continuously.
Factors influencing duration include: your individual metabolism, dosage, diet, and overall health. A higher dosage might extend the effect, but always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Important Note: Cialis doesn’t automatically cause an erection. Sexual stimulation is still necessary. The medication helps achieve and maintain an erection in response to stimulation.
If you experience prolonged erections (priapism) lasting over four hours, seek immediate medical attention. This is a serious condition requiring prompt treatment.
For personalized advice on Cialis usage and expected duration, consult your physician. They can assess your specific needs and health status to offer the best recommendations.
