Erectile dysfunction or male impotence is the failure to maintain an erection during sexual activity. Not everyone suffers from this sexual disorder, but it has been estimated that 1 in 10 adult males may have ED, especially long-term. Fortunately, several treatments can help patients with ED, one of which is the use of Tadalafil, the generic equivalent of the brand Cialis.


What You Need To Know About Erectile Dysfunction?

Cialis is the brand name for ED medication which contains the active component called Tadalafil. These are taken orally as tablets as prescribed by a physician and are available in different dosages (2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg).

Cialis or Tadalafil is recommended for men who are experiencing erectile dysfunction. This means they cannot maintain a hard penis or erection, essential to achieve a pleasurable sexual experience. Do take note that the efficacy of Generic Cialis or Tadalafil requires sexual stimulation. The pill can also be prescribed to men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a non-cancerous enlarged prostate gland condition. The use of Generic Cialis or Tadalafil can help resolve problems involving urine flow as well.

Tips On How To Take Cialis For Best Results

Cialis or Tadalafil is a long-lasting medication, and getting information on how the drug affects your body can help you get the best results. Here are some essential tips to help you get the best benefits from the treatment:

Your doctor will first assess your condition and then recommend when you should take Cialis or Tadalafil. You can take Tadalafil daily or when needed before engaging in sexual activity. If you are advised to take Tadalafil daily, then you should take it at the same time each day for optimal results. If you need to take Tadalafil as needed, make sure to take it at least 2 hours before engaging in sexual activity so that there is ample time for the pill to take effect. On average, Tadalafil will last up to 2 hours but can go up to 6 hours.

2. Do not take more than what is recommended.
