A summary of the information you need before taking cialis
Cialis was one of the two drugs approved by the FDA in 2003 and launched to compete with viagra. Because of greater power, cialis has rapidly gained market share and, in many markets outside the US, it has become the market leader. Why is this? In a sense, the drug's nickitsname gives the answer. Shortly after its release, men were calling it the "weekend pill". It must have seemed an extraordinary boast when it was first made, but the practical experience of millions of men around the world now confirms that cialis gives full sexual responsiveness for up to thirty-six hours. This is close to a unique record. There are very few drugs where one pill gives effective treatment for a day-and-a-half. Yet cialis consistently lives up to this promise. Take it when you anticipate sexual activity and then wait confidently for every opportunity to come. No more one shot with four or five hours of effectiveness offered by the other pills. This is one shot for victory. Except, of course, the manufacturers have gone one step further. Never one to sit on their laurels, the researchers have developed a once-daily version. Now you can take one pill every day and know that you can have sexual responsiveness on demand around the clock. This is a real ф24/7 drug. No more doubt! No more uncertainty! Just smooth response to a full erection whenever the stimulation occurs.
But, as with the other drugs, you should have a full medical exam before taking cialis. Erectile dysfunction can be a first symptom of some serious disorders and diseases. If you get early treatment, you can prevent these other problems from affecting your health. Never take the short-term route. Always have the tests to make sure you will live long enough to enjoy your newly restored sexual capacity.
Having your own doctor in front of you also gives the chance to discuss the dosage, the drug interactions to avoid and the risks of side effects. There are real issues to discuss if you are at risk of cardiovascular disease with implications about the dose you should take and a list of other drugs to avoid. You may also need to discuss lifestyle issues if you drink too much alcohol, smoke or carry an excessive amount of weight. When you have all this clear in your mind, there are only two issues with food. The first is that eating a heavy meal with a high fat content will slow down the rate at which you can absorb the drug. More importantly, do not eat grapefruit or drink the juice. The chemicals also affect the rate at your stomach will process the drug. There are few adverse side effects to worry about and the most common, headache and indigestion, usually pass quickly. If you have an erection lasting more than two hours and it's painful, go to the emergency room. It's also an emergency if you are one of the few people with an allergy to the drug, you find yourself weak and fainting, or your vision or hearing is affected.
