Cialis 5mg Tadalafil 28 Tablets
to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Tadalafil 5mg (brand name Cialis) is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help achieve an erection, and by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder to improve urinary symptoms.
Key Information
Usage: The 5mg strength is commonly prescribed for daily use to allow for spontaneous sexual activity or to provide continuous relief from BPH symptoms. It is taken once a day at approximately the same time each day.
Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, with or without food. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.
Mechanism: Tadalafil belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It helps relax blood vessels and muscles in specific areas of the body, but requires sexual stimulation to work for ED.
Important Warnings: Do not take tadalafil if you are using any form of organic nitrate drug (e.g., nitroglycerin for chest pain) or guanylate cyclase stimulators (e.g., riociguat), as the combination can cause a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are mild to moderate and usually go away within a few hours or days.
Headache
Indigestion or heartburn
Back pain and muscle aches
Flushing (warmth or redness in the face/chest)

Serious Side Effects and Precautions
If you experience any of the following, seek emergency medical help immediately:

Consult your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions (heart, liver, kidney problems, history of stroke or heart attack, low/high blood pressure) and any other medications you are taking to ensure tadalafil is safe for you.
