Cialis

Cialis (tadalafil) is often prescribed for men that are unable to enjoy sex because of erection problems. In most cases such patients are unable to achieve an erection that would be hard enough to have sex. Cialis is usually taken when needed, with 24 hours required to pass between two doses. Each tablet of Cialis is yellow, almond-shaped and film coated to prevent it from melting in your esophagus. You must not combine this medicine with any drugs that contain nitrates, for example isosorbide pills, nitroglycerine patches, nitroglycerin ointments, nitroglycerine pills or recreational drugs, also known as poppers. Taking the drugs mentioned above simultaneously with Cialis may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and, in some cases, be lethal. You also need to be careful when combining this medication with other drugs that have been reported to cause interactions. Do not take Cialis if you are already taking doxazosin, antifungal medications, diclofenac, clarithromycin, erythromycin, conivaptan, antidepressants, HIV/AIDS medicines, seizure medications, heart or blood pressure medications, isoniazid, rifampin, telithromycin, imatinib, or dalfopristin without first talking to your health care provider. Although generally well tolerated by most patients, this drug can sometimes cause mild side effects, such as facial flushing, headache, nasal congestion, muscle pain, back pain, indigestion, pain in arms and legs. These symptoms are not likely to last for too long and tend to go away as the treatment continues. In case of experiencing nausea, dizziness, chest pain, tingling in your neck, jaw, chest and arms while having sex it’s recommended to seek emergency medical help, as these are likely to be some of the serious side effects of Cialis. You also need to inform your doctor about having any health conditions that can make your treatment less efficient. These include unstable angina, kidney or liver problems, an inherited retinal disorder, stomach ulcer, or irregular heartbeat. If you have a recent history of a heart attack (within the last 6 months) it may be a contraindication for taking Cialis. Just like with any anti-impotence drug, there is a small chance of experiencing a serious side effect – sudden vision loss - when taking Cialis. Although it has not been established whether Cialis is the main culprit, the condition is caused by the reduced blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye. This side effect has been reported in people older than 50, smokers and those with health problems (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-existing eye conditions). Although Cialis is not intended for women, it belongs to FDA pregnancy category B – it is not expected to harm an unborn baby. If you are pregnant of breastfeeding, tell your doctor about that before taking this medicine. Make sure you never share your dose of Cialis with other people to whom it was not prescribed, as this can lead to a number of serious health effects for that other person.
