The typical starting dose of Cialis for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is 5mg taken once daily. This low dose is often sufficient to improve urinary symptoms. Your doctor will monitor your response and may adjust the dosage based on your individual needs and tolerance.
Adjusting Your Cialis Dosage
Some men may find the 5mg dose insufficient, while others may experience side effects. If the 5mg dose isn’t effective enough, your doctor might increase it to 5mg twice daily or, less commonly, to 10mg once daily. However, higher doses also increase the risk of side effects. If side effects are a problem, your doctor may recommend a lower dose, such as 2.5mg once daily.
Important Considerations
Always consult your doctor before starting or changing your Cialis dosage. They will consider your overall health, other medications you’re taking, and potential interactions. Never adjust your dose without medical supervision. Regular check-ups are recommended to monitor treatment effectiveness and manage any side effects.
