Important Things To Know Before Taking Cialis For Erectile Dysfunction

Hey guys, if you’re one of the many men who experience difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, you may have heard about Cialis.

It’s an FDA-approved medication designed to enhance the effects of a chemical that the body naturally produces during sexual arousal, resulting in increased blood flow to the penis and an erection.

But before you pop that pill, there are some important things you need to know.

First off, it’s crucial to let your healthcare provider know if you’re taking any nitrate medication. Why? Because Cialis can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure to an unsafe level, which can lead to dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack or stroke.

It’s also important to inform your healthcare provider of your Cialis use if you need emergency medical care for a heart problem. That way, your provider can determine the best course of treatment for you.

And here’s another tidbit – after taking one tablet of Cialis, the active ingredient can remain in your body for over two days. This can be longer if you have diseases related to your liver and/or kidney or take certain medicines.

Physicians should also discuss the potential for Cialis to interact with alpha-blockers and antihypertensive medications, leading to a blood-pressure-lowering effect.

So if you’ve had recent heart attacks or stroke, heart pains (angina), heart failure, uncontrolled blood pressure, uncontrolled irregular heartbeats, severe liver disease, or retinal eye problems, you should avoid using Cialis since they weren’t studied in clinical trials.

In addition, patients should talk to their doctors about their heart’s general condition before using Cialis since sexual activity can increase the workload of the heart. Patients with a condition called “left ventricular outlet obstruction” may experience fainting or light-headedness.

And last but not least, although it’s rare, there may be instances of priapism or painful, prolonged erections, which require immediate medical attention if they last longer than four hours.

Those are the most important things you should know before you pop a Cialis, but of course, there may be more things you need to understand and be wary of. That’s why it’s best to go to your doctor and have a thorough discussion about your specific case. Don’t hide anything from them, and stay safe out there!
