Cialis general information

Cialis is an oral drug for male impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by dilating blood vessels in the penis, allowing the inflow of blood needed for an erection. Cialis causes erections only during sexual excitement. It does not work in the absence of arousal and does not increase sexual desire.

Cialis dosage and administration

Take one Cialis tablet before sexual activity, with or without food. The best time to take Cialis depends on how and when the drug works for you, but some men are able to have an erection 30 minutes after taking it. Others are able to wait up to 36 hours after taking Cialis before engaging in sexual activity.

Recommended dose for adult male

Doses range from 5 milligrams to 20 milligrams, depending on the drug's effect. The recommended starting dose is 10 milligrams.
