Cialis
Cialis is an oral medication used to treat erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence. It is available by prescription only. Tadalafil is the generic name for Cialis. It is becoming widely used as an alternative to Viagra and Levitra.
Cialis is in a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Phosphodiesterase-5 is the enzyme that prevents erection. By taking Tadalafil (Cialis) this enzyme is prohibited from being released so that a sufferer of impotence may maintain an erection.
According to the Mayo Clinic online, a patient should make sure that their doctor and pharmacist is aware of any and all allergies. They should also have their current prescription list with them. Cialis has been known to have interactions with other ED medications and other drugs such as nitrates commonly prescribed to treat chest pain.
Cialis is most commonly started at doses of 10 mg per day. Cialis has been shown to work for up to 36 hours after taking it. This can lead to more spontaneity for those who suffer from erectile dysfunction. This drug may be taken with or without food.
Most patients can take Cialis once a day with no ill effects. This is dependent upon age, prior and current illness and other drugs the patient is taking at the time. The dosage amount will vary depending upon the individual taking Cialis.

Discuss your medical history with your doctor to be sure that Cialis is the correct drug for your situation. It is not recommended that a patient consume alcohol while taking this drug.
