Brand(s): Cialis
Manufacturer: Eli Lilly And Company
Disease(s): Erectile Dysfunction / Impotence
Cialis is a medical drug aimed at restoring erectile functions, i.e. the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. Treatment is possible due to the regulation of vascular tone.
The main active ingredient of the drug is tadalafil. It belongs to the group of enzymatic inhibitors of the PDE5 type. By the way, many medicines, which include substances of the PDE5 group, are the most effective.
In modern medicine, there are similar drugs, such as Viagra. However, Cialis is a more modern and effective remedy due to the modified molecules of the substances in the composition. They have a longer effect on sexual function, which may not decrease after a course of treatment.
Viagra, in turn, has only a temporary effect (several hours), and a large number of factors can affect its effectiveness. If we compare the cost, then these two drugs are in the same price category. So the price of Cialis is quite justified.
The official manufacturer of Cialis is the American company Eli Lilly and Company. If we talk about the manufacturer, then the organization is one of the largest not only in the US market but throughout the world. Eli Lilly and Company began its activities in the 1870s. In 2005, the company bought out all the results of the research conducted by specialists from the Icos organization and began to actively promote the product on the market.
Possible dosages
The manufacturer determines the standard dosage of the drug – 20 mg. It is not recommended to start taking Cialis with a higher dosage. If there are no severe chronic diseases of the liver, kidneys, heart and other organs, then dose adjustment is not required. At the same time, the time of taking the medicine does not matter: you can use Cialis during breakfast, lunch or dinner. But no more than 1 time per day.
In case of renal insufficiency, the dose should be monitored: in the absence of serious violations of the functioning of the kidneys, 20 mg can also be taken; in moderate renal failure, it is recommended to reduce the amount to 10 mg; and in a severe form of the disease, you can take no more than 5 mg per day.
In case of liver diseases (moderate liver failure), the daily dose of Cialis should not exceed 10 mg. In more complex forms of the disease, experts recommend that you stop taking the drug. The fact is that there are no data on clinical studies of such cases. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the reaction of the body to the active components of Cialis and to give recommendations for use. When taking the medication without consultation and examination by a specialist, it can be life-threatening.
The combination of Cialis with other drugs should also be controlled by doctors. So, for example, for those who are being treated with inhibitors, it is not recommended to use more than 10 mg of Cialis at a time in 3 days (72 hours).
