Cialis 10 MG ( Tadalafil )

Cialis 10 mg Tablet is a prescription-only medication containing Tadalafil 10 mg, manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company or its licensed generics (e.g., Lupin Ltd., India). Available in strips or blisters of 4–10 film-coated tablets, it is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. As a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, it enhances blood flow to the penis for erections and relaxes prostate/bladder muscles to ease urinary symptoms. It may also treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) under medical supervision.

Uses

• Treats erectile dysfunction (ED), enabling firm erections with sexual stimulation

• Manages benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), relieving urinary symptoms (e.g., weak stream, frequent urination)

• Treats ED and BPH symptoms when they occur together

• Off-label: Manages pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by relaxing lung blood vessels

Side Effects

• Common: Headache, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion

• Rare: Priapism (erection >4 hours), sudden vision/hearing loss, severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty), chest pain, dizziness Seek emergency help for priapism, sensory loss, or severe reactions. Consult a doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

How to Use Cialis 10 MG Tablet

• Dosage:

  • ED (as needed): 10 mg 30 minutes before sexual activity, adjustable to 5 mg or 20 mg based on response. Max: 1 dose per 24 hours.

  • ED (daily): 2.5–5 mg once daily at the same time, regardless of sexual activity.

  • BPH or ED/BPH: 5 mg once daily, typically not 10 mg.

• Swallow whole with water, with or without food. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it may increase side effects. Do not split or chew.

• Overdose: Seek immediate help for severe dizziness, fainting, or prolonged erection.

How Tablet Works

Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels to relax penile smooth muscles and enhance blood flow for erections with sexual stimulation. For BPH, it relaxes prostate and bladder muscles, improving urine flow. In PAH, it dilates lung vessels. Effects start within 30 minutes, peak at 2 hours, and last up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname “weekend pill.” Sexual arousal is required for ED efficacy.

Safety Advice

• Drug Interactions: Avoid with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin), riociguat, or alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) due to hypotension risk. Inform your doctor of all medications, including antifungals or HIV drugs.

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Not for women; limited safety data for PAH use in pregnancy.

• Driving: May cause dizziness; avoid driving if affected.

• Alcohol: Limit alcohol to reduce hypotension or dizziness risk.
