Description
Tadalafil/generic Cialis, like other erectile dysfunction tablet treatments such as Viagra and Levitra, works by changing the way blood flows in the penis during sexual stimulation.
The changes in blood flow improves erections. These medicines achieve this effect by blocking an enzyme called PDE5. They are PDE5 inhibitors. These medicines have very little effect in other parts of the body. Tablet treatments for erectile dysfunction augment and support sexual performance and relationships.
Taking tadalafil / generic Cialis for the first time
Tadalafil tablets come in four strengths – 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. Most men take a 10mg or 20mg tablet when they need it. The lower doses of 2.5mg and 5mg are usually for daily use, although some men may find a single 5mg tablet taken on an occasional basis is all they need.
The normal starting dose is a single 10mg tablet taken 30 minutes before sexual activity. Repeated trials of treatment at one dose are recommended before changing to higher or lower strength tablets. There is no benefit in taking a higher dose than is needed. Tadalafil should not be taken at the same time or within 36 hours of other erectile dysfunction treatments.
