What Are The Dangers of Taking Tadalafil or Generic Cialis?

Poor sexual performance will not only damage a man’s ego but can also cause relationship problems and feelings of disconnect. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is considered one of the most common kinds of sexual issues affecting 1 in 10 adult males. It has been reported that over 30 million men in the United States are affected by ED and 3 million Canadian men over 40. Fortunately, there are many proven treatments and medications, such as Cialis Tadalafil, that can help in managing this condition.


Signs and Symptoms of ED to Look Out For

Trouble in the bedroom is not always caused by erectile dysfunction. Many men will eventually experience erection problems, but if this issue persists, you most likely have a severe problem that needs immediate attention. Here are some of the common signs of ED:

  • Lack or diminished sexual urges
  • Inability to get a satisfying erection
  • Failure to sustain an erection

If you have any of the issues below, then you may have a higher risk of experiencing ED:

  • Getting older
  • Overweight
  • Uses tobacco or drugs
  • Takes alcohol
  • Has existing medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease
  • Taking medications such as antidepressants, antihistamines, or for hypertension

How Is Erectile Dysfunction Diagnosed

If you feel you may have ED, it is best to talk with an expert, such as your family doctor or urologist. Some people may find this uncomfortable, but the only way to get a proper diagnosis and treatment, with products such as Cialis or Tadalafil, is to consult a physician. The doctor will request your medical and sexual history, and you may also undergo a physical health exam.

A physical exam will also be conducted to help determine the causes of ED. In some cases, the urologist will also request further tests such as blood, imaging, injection or nocturnal erection.

Taking Cialis or the generic equivalent Tadalafil daily in small doses will result in a consistent concentration in the body.

Generic Cialis or Tadalafil Side Effects to Consider

Tadalafil, like any other medication, goes through a rigorous process to get approved by the FDA and Health Canada. However, this does not mean that these types of medication do not come with side effects. If prescribed Cialis, possible side effects should always be considered.

Taking Cialis may aggravate an existing medical conditions, and patients must get clearance from the doctor before they are prescribed the pill. If you have any of the following conditions, you may need to find another ED treatment option:

  • Allergic reaction
  • Blood cell conditions or sickle cell anemia
  • Cardiovascular problems (angina, heart failure or sex-induced chest pain)
  • Hypertension
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension
  • Recent history of stroke

Factors such as genetic background, drug interactions and medical history can determine if the patient will experience any side effects from taking Cialis. Generally, here are the common side effects that may occur when taking Cialis:

  1. Headache: Headaches are common even if you are not taking any form of ED medicine. If you are prescribed a higher dosage of Cialis, then there is a high probability that you will experience headaches. This is because taking Tadalafil will lower blood pressure levels.
  2. Indigestion or Dyspepsia: This can happen to patients prescribed a higher dosage of Cialis. Indigestion occurs because the medication loosens up the lower esophageal sphincter, the organ which regulates stomach movements. The acids in the stomach will pile up and make their way to the esophagus, leading to indigestion.
  3. Muscle or Back Pain: These side effects usually go away after a few hours. Men who get back pain and muscle aches usually get it 12 to 24 hours after taking Cialis and usually subside within 2 days.

Taking Cialis or the generic equivalent Tadalafil is safe. However, you need to make sure that you take the medication as prescribed, and you should not make any drastic changes, such as upping your dose without consulting your doctor.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of taking Cialis or Tadalafil:

  1. Avoid overconsumption of alcohol which can affect achieving an erection.
  2. Do not take high-fat meals since it can slow down the effects of the medication.
  3. Do not drink grapefruit juice since it will increase the levels of Cialis in the system and will likely cause adverse side effects.

In conclusion, Cialis Tadalafil has been proven to be a safe and effective option for those suffering from erectile dysfunction. The benefits definitely outweigh the possible risks for many users.

The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire below will provide you with a quick result in the form of a score from 5 to 25.

Men with concerns about their erectile function can take this quick test and get some information on whether it might be good to seek help for ED.

What Qualifies as an Erectile Dysfunction Problem?

Most men have experienced some difficulty in getting or keeping an erection. Having trouble when you’re nervous or have had too much to drink may not be something to be concerned about.

It isn’t erectile dysfunction unless you are experiencing ongoing difficulty.

The Canadian Study of Erectile Dysfunction identified 49.4% of men over 40 with ED (Canadian Urological Association erectile dysfunction guideline 2015). Though all men may experience an occasional lapse of sexual function, ED is the persistent inability to achieve an erection, despite being sexually aroused.

IIEF-5 Erectile Dysfunction Questionnaire Scoring

Each of the questions has five possible responses, with score values from one to five.

Your total score is simply the sum of the values of all five answers to the ED test questions.

Possible ED Test Score Ranges

22-25: No erectile dysfunction
17-21: Mild erectile dysfunction
12-16: Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
8-11: Moderate erectile dysfunction
5-7: Severe erectile dysfunction

The results of this brief self-evaluation should be used as a guide for whether you might want to consult with a doctor, and not as a replacement for a medical consultation.

Take the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) Questionnaire

Answer the five questions and the results will be automatically emailed to you in minutes.
