Do you wish to know more about Cialis tadalafil? Cialis is an effective treatment of erection problems. Learn more about its dosage, precautions and side effects.
Cialis tadalafil dosage
The recommended dose is 10mg prior to anticipated sexual activity, without regard to food. In those patients whom Cialis 10mg does not produce an adequate effect, 20 mg might be tried. Tadalafil may improve erectile function up to 36 hours following dosage intake. Therefore, when patients are advised about the dosage strength of tadalafil, they should not take extra dose, just to be sure. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day.
Recommended dosage for elderly men
Patients older than 65 years of age may be advised to take lower doses of tadalafil.
Recommended dosage for men with impaired hepatic function
For patients with mild or moderate degrees of hepatic impairment, the dosage of Cialis tadalafil should not exceed 10mg once a day. In patients with severe hepatic impairment, the use of Cialis tadalafil is not recommended.
Recommended dosage for men with impaired renal function
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild renal insufficiency. For patients with moderate renal insufficiency, a starting dose of 5mg not more than once daily is recommended, and the maximum dose should be limited to 10mg not more than once in 48 hours. For patients with severe renal insufficiency, the maximum recommended dose is 5mg.
Recommended dosage for men with diabetes
Patients suffering from diabetes should take tadalafil as recommended by their doctor.
Note: Cialis tadalafil should not be used in individuals below 18 years of age.
Cialis tadalafil precautions
Only a doctor can decide whether Cialis tadalafil is right for you. Cialis tadalafil can cause mild, temporary lowering of blood pressure. You need to have a thorough medical test to diagnose your condition and to find out if you can safely take tadalafil. If you have medical conditions that interfere with your sexual capabilities, do not forget to tell your doctor. Some conditions that stop you from having tadalafil are as follows:
- Heart problems (e.g., angina, chest pain, heart failure, irregular heart beats, or heart attack), have ever had a stroke
- Low or high blood pressure
- A rare inherited eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa
- Kidney problems
- Liver problems
- Blood problems, including sickle cell anaemia or leukaemia
- Allergies to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients of Cialis
- Deformed penis, Peyronie's disease
- Priapism
- Stomach ulcers
Cialis tadalafil side effects
Like all medicines, Cialis tadalafil can cause some side effects. These effects are usually mild to moderate and usually do not last longer than a few hours. Some of these side effects are more likely to occur if you do not follow the recommended dosing schedule.
The most common side effects of tadalafil are headache, flushing of the face and upset stomach. Less common side effects that may occur are temporary changes in colour vision (such as trouble telling the difference between blue and green objects or having a blue colour tinge to them), eyes being more sensitive to light or blurred vision.
In rare instances, men have reported an erection that lasts for four hours or more, a condition known as priapism. You should call a doctor immediately if you ever have an erection that lasts more than four hours. If not treated right away, permanent damage to your penis can ensue.
Heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeats and death have been reported in rare cases in men taking tadalafil. Most of these men had heart problems before taking this medicine. It is not possible to determine if these events were associated to tadalafil. Tadalafil may cause other side effects besides those listed on this sheet. If you want more information on side effects of tadalafil, consult a doctor.
