Cialis is an erectile dysfunction drug taken orally and is used to fight off impotence. It provides the user the ability to have or keep an erection and give satisfaction in his sexual activities. After a dose of Cialis, the user can already feel the erection 30 min after and its effects can last for about one day, and sometimes even longer. This is a big improvement in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Other known erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra only provide about 4 hours of erection after a dose. This drug works by blocking an enzyme which causes muscles in the penis to relax, thus allowing better blood flow in the penis.

Uses of Cialis

 

Since Cialis gives a quick, effective erection that can last for a long period of time, users will have more time to indulge in their sexual activities and can have more enjoyment. You are not pressured to perform sexual acts right away to satisfy your partner; thus making the experience more enjoyable. With Viagra, which only provides four hours of great erection, the user needs to do the actions right away because of the fear that its effects will fade away before they even know it. Cialis provides longer effects and the sexual activity need not be rushed. Every moment can be enjoyed by both parties without the fear of its effects wearing out during the most crucial points in the act of sexual activity.

Allergic reaction to the drug may include shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, skin rashes and swelling of some body parts.

 

Cialis Precautions

 

For safety reasons, you should inform your doctor of your physical condition before taking the medication. You must tell him if you have heart problems, stroke, uncontrolled blood pressure, kidney or liver problems and other sicknesses. Likewise, you should also inform your doctor when you are taking other medications so that he may supervise your use of the drug more effectively and safely. Your health care specialist will know which other medications can be taken with Cialis and those which should be avoided.
